We have not put this many people on this number of concentrated antibiotics, if ever, in certainly a long period of time. This amounts to a large clinical trial.

It's a combined debacle between how quickly we can find who put anthrax in the mail and how quickly we can find the people who think it's fun.

I want to emphasize as strongly as I can: Anyone who was working in that back postal area during the last 11 days, you must, today, immediately come here to D.C. General [Hospital] to receive prophylactic medication and to be evaluated.

We're all standing in line for people to come by. The city is like anybody else.

There's many, many people in need. We need to get the word out, now. There's a lot of ways to raise money and there's a lot of people that need help.

It's a good feeling to be a part of this. People here have been great about coming to us as an independent business. I like being involved in the community and seeing people, and I think this will help us serve our customers even better.
