             1."Y,@,             0        ion Paper states that there is no excuse for us not
             to have bought all 100 horses by now for production of the
             botulinum antitoxin. During the Tank Session on 11 Dec 90, it was
             revealed that the 100 horses for botulinum antitoxin production had
             not been procured by the AMEDD (U.S. Army Medical Research and
             Development Comraand). General Powell questioned why not since the
             tasker to procure 100 horses went out during the last Tank Session
             held on 30 Nov 90.

             have not been procured.

             3. (U) During discussions between MAJ Eng and LTC Franz (USAMRIID)
             on 9 Dec 90, it was revealed that MRDC had made a decision to stop
             the horse procurement. LTC Franz was not sure of the reasoning.
             The stop order is general knowledge.

ed that there
             was disagreement within MRDC as to the best vaccination protocol;
             therefore, a decision was made to stop procurement of horses until
