At any rate, U.S. authorities requested a sample from Russia with which to test the U.S. vaccine but were unsuccessful when Russia denied ever having produced such a strain. Thus was born the "Jefferson Project." The CIA was tasked with developing more deadly anthrax bacteria to use in testing U.S. vaccines. The CIA chose its often used contractor Battelle (BMI) to host the project.
Production was to be at Battelle’s state of the art facility for making aerosol products for commercial and military use. Some researchers believe this may be the facility at which William Patrick perfected the process that resulted in the one trillion-spore concentration rather than at the army’s Dugway, Utah facility, which is also controlled by Battelle. The aerosol facility is located in Jefferson, Ohio hence the name of the project. No results of the project have been announced.
Yet another CIA program, "Clear Vision" has no relevance toward solving the mailed anthrax question but has clear implications for future "events."
Again from BIOHAZARD NEWS, "In 1997, the Central Intelligence Agency embarked on the "Clear Vision" project, which focused on weapons systems that would deliver the germs.
