The rear. Wheel.
When they. Get.
Hold on.
Immediate. I know from from Devi secretary work that yes I'm
opening comments and fixing question seasoning at a us to love
a leave us and it'll be turning it over to Undersecretary campbell
and his team for a fall off after that.
And everybody.
A wanted to be an update on the department of offences investigation.
Into the shipment of live and for Ex force for the odeon commercial laboratories.
Inside the continental United States as well those overseas.
And that's about as was just said all take a couple questions
and then turn it over to the experts.
But since 2003 the department has periodically chipped.
What it thought was in activated or killed samples of the phyllis
and terace or and tracks.
It's forced to selected laboratories.
Uh we do this to create medical.
And physical counter measures.
Protect our troops are allies and partners.
And the American public from the threat of biological attack.
We do this because we know that in the past some nations.
Have pursued biological weapons and we can't be certain that
they will not be used in the future.
On may 20 second of this year the center for disease control
and prevention CDC notified Bo be that a commercial research
la facility had received supposedly an of an activated samples
a contained live and for Ex spores.
Click we quickly determine that this sample originated from doug
weight proving ground in you kill an ownership through the armies
which would chemical biological center in merrill.
Two days later after consultation with the CDC all shipments
of then activated.
Biological agents or what we thought were an activated from doug
way in the edge would facility were halted.
In the very next day. We expanded that to include a moratorium
on all shipments of an activated and tracks material to and from
all deal. The lever tours.
A 26 may a CDC began an investigation into what happened at that
way and and twit and three days later admission either a broader
review of the oh the laboratory procedures processes and protocols
associate with an actor dating and threats forced to determine
if this was a one time percy jewel failure at doug weight proving ground.
Or for was a more systematic problem and the Department's bio
hazard safety procedures.
But what if right kendall are Undersecretary defense for acquisition
technology and logistics to oversee.
This pursue drawer view.
Like a single assembled a team that eau de by owes are actually
in the report this was an expert team that include a representatives
from the department of agriculture.
Energy defense all lead security.
Federal bureau of investigation.
Academia and industry.
They conducted a comprehensive review.
Of all procedures process is an protocols.
On the four laboratories or out the for laboratories that work
with an activated and threats spores.
And particularly those for siege ers that work associate with
the in activation.
Of what of lots force and then the viability testing to determine
if they were into you kill.
All this review was on the way the department of CDC work together
to test and then re test. Every single in activated and threat
and throw acts Baksh.
That we retained in our inventory.
The other review team reported their findings and recommendations
to frank on the thirteenth of chug. Why can days ago.
And after just thorough review and I have to say thorough review.
I received is 40 endorsement yesterday.
In the meantime secretary card or not I discussed the findings
of the report its implications and what we might be doing and
I'd like to share refused some of the findings and recommendations
of the bill you.
The review showed the since 2000 and three.
Our for dod laboratories a radiated a total of 140 not in batches.
Of live and tracks borscht and reported them as in activated
and safe.
For subsequent testing.
Everyone all of those batches had been accounted for and peter
tested for it. Destroyed.
Fifty three of the 149 batches are no longer in dod and the tour
again we've been doing this since 2000 and three.
And they were available not available for testing.
In the recipients of those batches.
I'm still had any samples on hand were told to destroy them.
What this was 96 samples were batches to test.
Seventeen of those 90 six.
Tested positive.
For the re gross.
Or presents all too wide and tracks and everyone originated from
doug weight proving ground.
But the total batches in double ways inman tory more than half.
Tested positive.
Seventeen of 30 through of those batches.
Who still had any samples on hand were told to destroy them.
The left us with some 96 samples were batches to cast.
Seventeen of those 90 six.
Tested positive.
For the re gross.
Or presents of live and tracks and everyone originated from doug
weight proving ground.
Well the total batches in doug wastes inventory more than half.
Tested positive.
Seventeen of 33 batches that doug weight.
Were tested positive.
Obviously. What right out of those EMC direct Bachelor's that
were presumed to be in activated instead proof to contain live
each boris's.
We have a major problem.
And the numbers confirm the stretched.
At this point. We know that over the last 12 years.
Eighty six laboratories in 20 States.
The district of columbia and seven foreign countries ultimately received.
What was supposedly and activated spores.
But we're alive.
And paul originated as I said from boaddway proven grow.
Alright expect those numbers to. Increase.
The 86 labs that we're reporting today include the ball in activated
and threats samples that were were seized dear brackley from
doug weight curving crop by laboratory.
However the is receiving labs could in turn to in samples to
other laboratories to help them in dear procedures or testing.
And CDC the is responsible for tracking post secondary and tertiary
ship punch.
We expect assured the results of their work.
Very very soon.
Those will increase our numbers.
We will continue to work was CDC an update or website to reflects
CDC spy names as soon as they become available.
But we are extremely fortune.
The to live and trek sample which came in liquid for ants rex
has SPF or some is therefore generally transmitted to its force
in the air in your brief.
Come and liquid for an extremely Smallman ups files. Maybe about
the size.
They were handled in laboratory barman spite technicians and
workers that we're used to handling hazardous material and there
was extremely low concentrations of spores indie stamp.
This helps explain to us why over a 12 year period. There's never
been a single.
Incident of infection.
And we're re very very confident.
That because of these unique circumstances there were no known
risks to the broader public.
Healthy person would have to purposely and she asked drink it
sample or injected.
And would have to do it several times to them to become infected.
But secretary carter myself in the senior leadership of the department
take absolutely. No comfort and this fact.
Bite in or make any measure by any measure.
This was a massive institutional failure.
With the potentially dangerous by attacks.
So the first thing we had to know was why did it happen.
Reveal concluded that there were three main causes to this failure.
The first and the most broadest one and the one that surprised
me perhaps the most.
Is there is no own national standard.
At all.
For the for any standard to died just for the development of
protocols process is uncalled or your shirts measures in the
preparation of an activated enter exports. They just are not
exist even though laboratories across the country. Do this with team.
Said another way as I said there's no national standard.
So each of the labs had to make their own protocols.
And the boat test them for their viability.
So obviously in the other labs it seem to work.
Dubbed the way it did not.
We believe we know why.
There's a combination of large production volume.
Low sampling volume.
On the testing.
For Paula in activation material for by ability testing.
And there was a very short per to time between the time doug
weight or radiated the sample and declared it dead.
And then the viability test to conclude that it was.
We think that is why there was a very hide what higher likelihood
at dove way.
For a problem to occur and the number seem to bear this out.
Heard there are no bio safety protocols and procedures that are
standardized across the of duty that's another thing that surprised
me a lot.
And this is partly due to the fact that the laboratories or hundred
different Chang to command.
So this is something that we have to care.
To given nice findings.
We obviously is a department have a lot of work to do.
A lot of work is cut up and when we have a lot of were cut up force.
The American public expects more from the department of defense.
And we expect much more of or so it's also.
Shuttered carter has been made plain to me and all the senior
leadership of the department that he expects these issues to
be dealt with swiftly and comprehensively to ensure are but a
failure of this sort never happens again.
Accordingly I'm taking the following actions.
Directed Undersecretary candle.
To first work with dod stakeholders and the sea DC.
And all other relevant departments and agencies in the U.S.
government. To develop standardized a radiation and by building
testing protocols.
For fall to partner defense labs that work which for producing
organisms like and tracks.
I told him to ensure that there are sufficient funding available
for the chemical and biological defense program.
To support the research and development of the standardized a
radiation and viability testing protocol.
If you feels there's not enough money you can bring it to me
and the vice chairman a joy juices stuff through the debt these
management action group and we will take action to make sure
that those forms are made available.
Of also lessen the review and revise as necessary all deo dubai
out safety and by security policies to ensure consistent application
across our for laboratories and to oversee the military department
service implementation of a review of committee's recommendations.
Edition. Directed the secretary the army to conduct a full accountability assessment.
Of those responsible at don't wait proving grounds.
To include initiating a formal investigation of a specific actions
that contributed to the unintended shipment of live ants rex spores.
Within 30 days a secretary the army in court nation with the
secretary the navy.
Three of the lab's report under the army and one of the lavish
report under the navy.
It all in an imitation plan for dressing the specific recommendations
of this report.
Psp deeply uncalled ancients peer review and program management
and to provide quarterly updates on the progress too many.
Review laboratory missions in chains of command and provide policy
in organisational recommendations to ensure that there's a consistent
application is also one of the things is that there are cross
to defer military departments and across four different chains
of command.
So we need to address that so that we have standards station
across all four.
Of also asked a sector Toronto to assess the optimal distribution
of research of roman production activities.
In dod laboratory set support the chemical and biological.
Defense program mission.
Finally a designated a secretary the army is that the eau de
executive agent for the biological select agent and toxin or
what we call be sapped.
Bio safety program.
As the dod's executive agent the secretary the army bolder responsible
for the technical where you inspection and stab welshman of these
common bio safety protocols and procedures.
And he will have the authority to ensure their strict implementation.
But the us the army to does it made a certified biological safety
officer to execute this responsibility for.
Until all of these recommendations are a dressed in place and
Undersecretary kendall has told me that they have been a dressed
are directed the moratorium.
On a continued moratorium on the production handling testing
and Shipman of them activated and tracks.
About will contain.
Except is required for development of the standardize peer reviewed.
Validated protocols for the and activation of viability testing
of a. Spores.
This with you taught us lessons. We needed to were.
We were quite frankly surprise but them.
Identified institutional of pursue jewel failures. We urgently
need to it dress.
We are shocked.
By these failures.
Or to stressed you did deal de Tate's fold responsibility for
these failures.
We are implementing changes in recommending the establishment
of procedures process is an protocols that will prove event such
a bio hazard safety failure.
From ever happening again.
In fact we hope that the lessons learned that we are working.
We'll in cursed the development of establishment of a national
and activation viability testing standard.
For every lab and the United States to fall.
Before closing adjusts water reiterate.
But there's no known risk.
To the general public.
Or to our allies and partners or to our servicemen and women.
There've been shira Casey backtracked sheath action over the
last 12 years.
And we continue to partner with C D C. Ensure safeguards are instituted.
Once again how order the statement.
In no way.
This meant to millibars minimize the SUV verity all distilled.
It was absolutely inexcusable.
In closing let me say that secretary carter myself in the senior
leadership of the department.
One to come in the laboratory the first noticed that the city
of this problem.
And set this where you in motion.
It was because of they're notification.
But the depart was able to take immediate action and a stop all
shipping of an activated and tracks recess or procedures process
isn't protocols and the big end institute the needed changes.
That works so obviously needed.
And doing so they help two-incher know what one was affected
by and perks.
With that I'd like to opened up for few questions.
Farber. One thing to think harder to mention the FBI.
And I have not heard if you don't be I was involved in this.
Tell today can you tell us number one one to bring the FBI into it.
Number two.
Although you have this accountability when you get is that the
army to the distance you crackling.
If this is going on for years with no one knows the one thing
she would leave the army and adequately investigate its self.
Why are you not to an independent grief you.
Who do you think he's responsibly must have some idea you can't
be just the bureaucracy and my third question is how can you
be certain standing here. Today that there are no other.
Oh german biological chemical hazardous agents that that the
defense department deals with injects.
That are facing the same problem. Having postage-stamp racks.
Is where there are a lot of questions and that one part of it.
Footmen. Okay and We start at the arm. Obviously we wanted to
make sure that this wasn't the over salt of a bad actor who was
doing this on purpose.
And we were able to determine that that is not the case.
Alma second thing responsibility this first review was designed
primarily when I asked a question on the 29 flesh it how in the
world could this happen. I was more interested in finding out
what was the cause of the prophet and that was the focus of the reviewed.
Afterward doing the reviewed frank made the recommendation has said.
Look although we didn't have the under although we didn't know
the viability standards were false. We need to get to this but
still there were things are were happening that way but obviously.
We should.
Follow reviews more closely. That's why we've been asked the
secretary the army was responsible for the doug weight chain
of command execute be accountability.
And the investigation into exactly what happened.
Do you to be an independent where do says don't wages have known
problems in the past of that for some reason army hasn't noticed
in years.
Why not in good and everything to to assure yourself.
Of full independent investigation has full confidence in secretary
mick you.
All mope and I expect him to be able to the reviewed this and
very great detail one provide recommendations to us all on exactly.
If there is an who is responsible for these lapses that that what.
You wanna work through their words or their agents over there.
No the with this same facing the same problem have you know it's
just in pcs.
Well I might a still frank Allah to do this we were looking at
all sport producing Paula all score producing organisms.
All that but we were focus obviously on and tracks uh that we
have very high confidence and be shipment of use material with
very high confidence to spin handled with him laboratories by
trained people.
We feel that are protocols that are stuck washer being followed.
Problem that was shown up in this review is we'd have to look
at the protocols in shows and make better spenders july have
a very very high confidence at least at this point. Of that there
are no other issues that we're on a were a.
Job is to secretary what was so different about the protocols
and procedures in that way than the other four installations
uh uh that could have caused this problem and can dictate the
in this investigation did you find any evidence of mao seasons
negligence a among those who are responsible for the on that
test when you take the second one first jim are was no findings
of mull fees ince or Allah.
Palma one-ton euro.
Volvo. The use of protocols that was the protocols themselves.
But were to fall.
About a protocols and doug weight were put Dichter particularly
problematic is a production facility show 86 of the 149 batches
were created in duck what it is our primary production facility.
They would make a large concentrations. I mean large batch sizes
sold a sizes of the batches word larger than the other three
laboratories that generally work which smaller samples.
Then there are radiation olive procedures. Obviously didn't work.
And The time.
Between the time they your radiated the samples. And didn't they
tested it for viability was to shore.
So was combination of the Specter's we do believe where there's
reason why as high as 50% of their batches ultimately proved
to be a lot of that was ultimately responsible for that.
The technical director of all of the upcoming with that.
Weaknesses on forging. Every company can situation infractions
are unique called engine.
I dizzy all your doesn't like it to just pick pitcher a biological
agent on the causes exists in this for worse attrition.
Others for for. A is harder than and click on a vector of orange
people to kill and an Jaffe where you wore and Foster's.
The processes that I'm a pit dug away or not there's rigorous
which processes it some other places but not by any more much more.
That the team that to the heat-led they've looked at this out
differences we're a bit work indicators of actors that either
individually or in combination could contributers to the fact
they work as successful at killing the and for action.
That but the thing that struck out for us to double a was of
a from oracle portion of the samples of they to radiated try
not to be positive in their test about 20% and go to directs
that should have been a clear indication to people a dog with
that's something for but no should get much much much doors and
the Uh there are some other say certain of unit to that we including
some things in up in their history a there is enough evidence
for me in the report from the review grew.
That individual accountability should be assessed. But you should
be assessed by a formal investigation by and procure investigating
by the army has been sick can do that piece of these for for
Journal for me for a joke.
Uh people deserve to process within wobbly to judgement to reviewed.
We did was a for years you it was not an in depth of detail invest
in overview of the can you wanna happy for you uh before you
find so we call quibble and take corrective action. That's what
the army will do now.
And so I'd get you I think to all understand the concept of on
do command informs the spot appropriate for any of Austin poem
to speculate on who might be responsible or even if there is
a single person responsible we will leave that to the investigation
to inform us and then we will take action this nests are great
for what.
The sort.
You call them.
What kind of deadlines are Undersecretary isn't there said capable
of dealing with now within the work that you give him.
Yeah and. Um.
There was the summed up that no one is the default otherwise
what conduct the internal investigation and you said that way
if you do said um.
The pro calls for a fall and not employees of here at the podium.
So you slightly contradicted yourself just now by saying that
we don't know if person now.
I'm are its so called a personnel uh not can you this expanded
the place.
Double way followed the procedures that were in place and that way.
As far as we know that they shun just a 30 day review.
Has frank said what happened where the percy jurors word.
The primary called.
We believe there were indicators that people should have known
there was a problem.
Sold that is why there was smoke we can't say that there was
nobody who was.
Doing it on purpose. They were fall wind what they considered
to be the correct protocol.
But it was the responsibility of the laboratory figure out with
inch protocols for contract that is what the investigation will
tell us to I don't see there's any.
I don't see there's any contradiction in our position here.
Procedure that the way that they were at the other facility just
they were a sunset that are as I said there were different procedures
and each of the facilities they were all and different chains
of command and one of the findings was was that we need to establish
a deal the standard is that standardized and activation protocol
across all four of the laboratories and that is what secretary
can to will have to do that to your point there is no deadlock.
Frank in a was as much time to do this and the moratorium will
state in place as warm as is needed.
With one slight caveat at some point if it becomes clear that
it is interfering with the chemical and biological defense program
than secretary can the will take that into account and make adjustments
as necessary but his first requirement is to establish the standardized
protocols implement them across the department.
Tell me that they're scientifically sound and our a bald very
very high confidence that they will a den of ally problems like
this and the future will prevent them from happening again.
And In the meantime the more tour and will continue we will work
with the CDC.
Everything is contained inside laboratories. There's no more
ship but of this so all sample sizes. There are no more working
on it.
All are sold in the meantime Franks job is to make sure that
the user and pope implemented across all of the cervix an across
the the part.
The boom.
Hurt. He will come to me and does he will make a recommendation
on when the moratorium should be lifted and it will be based
on science and would be based on the best scientific knowledge
that we have using CDC and hall of the experts and the department
fence to tells which way to vocal I would turn this over now
to the people who actually can but did the review.
Off frank is intimate. We owe a of where are all of the details
back in the Judy was the actual author of the report so if you
have any specific questions here on you can ask them to protect
laboring remain open given the systematic killing doesn't to
suggest that they should not be involved in anti fees stands
that you talk about they were metal stands at the applies they
reach an unusually large batches of their for it medal alec plots
mentally its love of medal testing viability in these are just
arbitrage standards. There standards that can be done through
masking know how many approximates fours or in a batch you know
how much radiation needs to be eat. So I don't understand with
only ball asked repeatedly where it was that decision may that
she would use.
And usually high batches and I'm hugely low standards and when
acting and a 's and how that decision was made and what I don't
understand is home and that decision is doubly was in the business
of doing this systematically for deck eat eve and other warning
signs that it was not working watching Dudley still in the business
of up put you not producing empress awful mold. The boys not
producing and the and threats right now they're not shipping
any of tricks they have stopped the more tour. I'm applies to
them as well as the other ones and I will turn this over the frank.
So he can answer your specific questions as I said this was a
failure that the department defense this taking full responsibility
for and we need to understand and to establish procedures that
will make sure of this won't happen again. I'm confident that
frank he's going to be of the leaders to a point.
Where we will be able to tell you and the American public that
we have solved this problem and it will not happen again.
Thank. You.
Winner for the don't should do me a pair of opposition medical
fisher for the bio defend program.
And but he did you use really mention earlier libya carpenter
reviews that the dup destructor ESPN.
Up organize and conduct.
All of us a couple of places make clarify this a little bit hunch
about double worrying about to pursue to share from where did
not depart dramatically from what others were doing that uses
same rubble of radiation roughly for them. So I'm a other laboratories
but roughly single.
And there's in the report that's available to you now there are
the details of with each lavatory dead in in all these years.
They use a smaller sample size for their testing to verify that
the an act of racial was successful.
Uh that by itself might not a been enough to to Carson to miss
a release on the car with lee in africa to that they didn't answer
pearly to factor there were so live in for UK's uh in the samples
a radiant.
Holiday did testing more quickly probably because of the process
there were do working there are doing.
More work in the sheree of another wedge world because of the
a purpose for which there were doing.
Also their samples were contaminated more uh with with other
singular orders of other wastes and others were the trick more
truer were from being used for research is to the field testing
if you will never coached tradition. You're from service of their
understandable their revered the existing for a reason.
Uh in general but ways for balls world war and summers DNA crosses
is ruled that different but they won't dramatically self to group
dignified if there's any recklessness on the part of imported
don't worry they justify that there was any in a collision tirana
grossed emotions showed. This is a deeper called him that what
what can I read the report to the review group. What struck me
the was at their work indicators that I think that the tactical
leadership that that way should have seen and understood indicated
to that and for them to get to them that something was war that
they need to look more closely if their procedures to a higher
percentage of of their batches were tested positive women with
that interpretation touched. Hello. There are good team asked
him what that number was the ritual intro got was two or 3% of
their review team Scheck to records director show that was more
20 percent. That's is significant difference and won the fundamental
character research money and for Ex hands forest and these treatment
for scorers is that's a statistical process.
And when you're doing is your sampling of statistical processed
the tactical leadership ago away from fully understood that and
and because of that the implications of and a higher for the right.
That's what caught to a my tension I wrote the report and that's
why I recommended a more formal investigation. What I recommended
to the Yeoh secretary was of the tactical leadership in the organization
to responsible for there's microbiology organization in life
sciences division as well as the chain of command had don't worry
be the the essentially investigated in a more formal investigation.
So hopefully they'll healthful overcomes 10 where we are.
Where I think you can you explain the moratorium processed power warbeck.
There's there's going forward.
Uh and act what if we take I guess to listed even as this process
to the site in the short term it will not have much in a fact
of basically if this is closing down strum re shorts work for
per time and uh uh some of the testing that we do to verified
that lever tours have the capability to test for him fresh successfully.
Um there are still work owing others to we church gonna widen
for the proper protection alive interrupts. So this special category
of can activity interacts uh that work is going to ceasing to
we get the story about that there's going to me to be it pay
a scientific body of research more fully characterizing understand
how and for Ex response to radiation and how the test of verified
that dare enter fsa been activated a will be successful higher percent.
That's what we need to do the restriction to stelae vicious can.
Uh I can't I would hesitate to guess a to haul one that was for
for tight uh but it will not be don instantaneously will take
about it a.
Them thinks but you mentioned a verification test can you explain
what the their vacate their vacation test was and they can you
explain the discrepancy between the 2% and 20% was a 2% something
that they had they of what has said to do that and you know what
was that they alight lior the system through testing not call
ally at this point with to Bin Laden and we're coming on that.
But a team ozic asked a question how often do your samples fail
verification touched.
Uh and the entered two or 3% name and trick a records and found
to be much heart that he was saying was injured and up.
Uh oh.
The entire dialog that we have at every facilities actually at
that that the the pens season report to you can see of what the
at told by a lot was but it was it was a simple misunderstanding
on their park what the actual failure rate was and we asked for
specific data to support that failure rate the data showed that
will significantly higher.
There is also it's within a few years earlier that to avoid in
which they mejia.
A pearly all live a sample that had gone through they're they're
process and not been detected surely had some really are indications
that the minor reforms will.
With her vacation past.
Basically after you do the a radiation a you take a sample from
the radiation and you turn to grow and it's it's alive and hasn't
been hasn't been activated with and then it will grow into belle detected.
The core.
To put a medium them or the differences computers was the Uh
the how uh. The degree of nutrition or that the type of solution
working which really to put the sports and after the been radiated
a Somali allege user broth wishes as moreover Grinch and other
issues a girl were killed more common the U.S soaps inching know
them and work like that's.
Credit. Pungent room and plenty of him.
Or the phrase the merrill and level that first brought this probably
intention CDC understanding where if I'm wrong is that was a
hot pratt of.
Uh I'm A In my understanding also from previews reporting statements
out of here is that good trick that when it tried to grow abstract.
It was surprise.
That and culture entrance perhaps than it was surprise that.
The average growth.
And what I what it on a lab getting what would it is to hold
are dead and for explorers why would any let up.
Try to grow and that was treated to confirm this but I think
would happen in this case was that.
Uh one answer actually shipped in in a vector inform what we
have been doing.
It's a copy by should to to get that indicates that a kitchen
applied answer.
VIC in this case this where received it with out that should've
to kept and because it did not have the should to thicken they
one handed touched tech worker posted on.
Uh this one of the foreign acquisition process. So to test the
laboratories to see if their systems and work against a the have
products door saying line in activated sample. So they didn't
know what the identity of the sample was them to in this particular
case to receive the death certificate an abundance of caution
because they haven't received death certificate. Pearson was locked.
So they some out to be cultured. In fact the culture came on
as possible that we go with you is that you're not you should
with the sample that was and this was not issued on purpose as
a blind steady foreign acquisition process hedge yet. So it was
not part of provocations.
Yeah. Can you were there.
Was a was.
There we can or should not abandon the we joseph was can't because
it was apartment on how testing for acquisition. You didn't have
that certificates so just test that that the young test equipment
of the working appropriate can the identified this is in fact
this listen to resist.
So here I.
It was at the beginning in the suit was one to somebody 86 select labs.
And um is one house select is is process with that many lambs
in 19 examine the wisdom craving has apparatus of lanzarote your
shipping dangers pathogens to use some on the work of these things
into this is for the broader program that is designed to protect
the country.
Uh we have the answer action scenes that were brainwashed about
here in the cap will of course but throughout the country.
People are confirmed about the possible given for the music and
