White House Mail Machine Has Anthrax By Sandra Sobieraj snip/
Associated Press Writer Tuesday, Oct. 23, 2001; 8:11 p.m. EDT
WASHINGTON –– President Bush said confidently Tuesday that "I don't have anthrax" after biohazard testing at the White House and the discovery of anthrax on a mail-opening machine at a screening facility six miles away.
All White House mail – more than 40,000 letters a week – is examined at military facilities across the Potomac River.
"Let me put it this way," Bush said. "I'm confident that when I come to work tomorrow, I'll be safe."
Asked if he was tested for the germ that has killed three people already this month, or if he was taking precautionary antibiotics, Bush replied simply: "I don't have anthrax."
At least some White House personnel were given Cipro six weeks ago. White House officials won't discuss who might be receiving the anthrax-treating antibiotic now.

it's not breaking news. Also, looks like another case that will go unbroken.
