While this writer was among the first to question the ownership, motives and associations of the only U.S. manufacturer of the anthrax vaccine (Bioport), credit must be given to other researchers who have broadened the field of inquiry. Two in particular have opened up the proverbial "can of worms" involved in the scientific progress of biological weapons. Dr. Leonard Horowitz and Patricia Doyle, Ph.D. have zeroed in on a little publicized but powerful entity named Battelle Memorial Institute (BMI). This relatively unknown (by the public) organization has its tentacles spread into virtually every field of current scientific endeavor, in partnership with the federal and state governments and the military. But we are getting ahead of ourselves. First some background. What are "GOCO �s?" At the end of the Second World War, the federal government found itself with several secret laboratories involved mainly in nuclear, chemical and biological weapons research and development. A decision was made to utilize the labs, not only for further weapons research, but also for "peaceful" inventions and discoveries benefiting private industry and commerce. A method was devised to keep the labs under government ownership but allow maximum participation of private interests. Thus "GOCO�s" (Government owned contractor operated) facilities were born. This procedure provides a means to fund projects with taxpayers dollars and transfers of the resulting technology to selected private interests. Various government agencies and the military (Department of Defense) select organizations (through a Byzantine bidding process) to control and operate the government owned facilities. There are currently at least nineteen government owned national laboratories (that we know of) being operated by private contractors. All but one of the contractors is a "non-profit" organization or combination of two or more. The one exception is the Sandia lab, which devolved from the WWII atomic bomb Manhattan Project. The first contractor operator, invited by President Harry Truman, was AT&T. It managed the lab until October, 1993 in the first year of the Clinton Administration, when the contract was awarded to Martin Marietta Corp. in Georgia (now Lockheed Martin). Undoubtedly the influence of "Mr. Defense" Georgia Senator Sam Nunn had something to do with that award. (Republican Congressman Newt Gingrich of Georgia would not become Speaker of the House until two years later.) However, the government got a "real deal" since Lockheed/Martin Marietta has not charged a fee for its management of the lab. (Cui bono?) Back to BMI (Battelle Memorial Institute) with headquarters in Columbus, Ohio. The institute was the brainchild of industrialist Gordon Battelle whose multi-millionaire father (John Battelle) had established a coal and steel empire in that state. A bequest of one million dollars in Gordon�s will set up the institute in 1923. Named to the first board of directors was then President of the United States, Warren G. Harding, a close associate of Gordon�s father John. Harding also died later that year. The mission of the Institute, described in the trust is "the encouragement of creative and research work and the making of discoveries and inventions." The trust also required that a share of the institute�s net earnings (20%) be given to charitable institutions, needy enterprises or persons. In practice, the "needy" institutions seem to be other research organizations (some indirectly related to BMI). >From its humble beginnings with one lab and 20 employees BMI has grown to encompass over 10,000 employees (including 7,500 scientists and engineers), six major technology centers and eight specialized facilities. It has offices in 71 U.S. cities and four in foreign countries including Russia and the Ukraine. BMI also has nine subsidiaries. The BMI trust was set up as a "non-profit" organization under the laws of the State of Ohio. However, according to BMI�s associate general counsel in congressional testimony, BMI does not qualify as non-profit under IRS guidelines and is not tax exempt. (His testimony was given in an apparently successful request that BMI and other "non-profit" contract operators of government facilities be exempted from collection of civil damages for "incidents" with nuclear, chemical or biological materials causing damage or harm to people or the environment.) BMI�s fiscal 2000 revenue was nearly one billion dollars, mostly from government contracts and grants. During that year BMI had 6,783 projects in progress for 1,565 "clients." The institute manages or "co-manages" four top secret facilities for the Department of Energy (DOE). The names of the nominal operators of many government facilities do not tell one who is really running the show. One of the favorite stratagems is for the real manager to join in a partnership with a university or a third entity is created as a joint venture with a university or other company. The DOE�s Brookhaven National Laboratory in New York is operated by Brookhaven Science Associates a corporation consisting solely of Battelle and Stoney Brook University. BMI is co-manager of DOE�s Oak Ridge laboratory with the University of Tennessee. Battelle and other prime contractors have no problem getting universities to "partner" with them in managing laboratory facilities. Entering into such agreements with the favored contractors virtually guarantees a steady flow of government research grants, the lifeblood of many major universities. Battelle has partnering agreements, in addition to the Univ. of Tennessee, with the entire California State university system and the same in Oregon. While details of the partnering agreements are not made known to the public, occasionally a local newspaper will dig up an interesting provision. One of the provisions in an agreement signed last spring between Battelle and Ohio University for joint gene research allows BMI to transfer any facet of the project to its own laboratories at BMI�s discretion. The import of a provision like that will become apparent in part three of this report. In addition to the management of entire facilities, BMI supports (manages) an incredible variety of programs for various agencies. It supports programs in at least 18 military installations including bioweapons programs at Ft. Detrick in Maryland and the Army�s Dugway facility in Utah. It was recently disclosed that BMI also supports an anthrax program for the CIA. In part two of this analysis BMI�s deep involvement in anthrax programs, both weapons and vaccines, will be discussed. Part three will explore BMI�s involvement and the implications of the decoding and deconstruction of the human genome as well as the murders and mysterious deaths apparently connected to it.
