Then-Vice President Dick Cheney wrote, on October 18, 2001: “There had been an initial positive test result indicating a botulinum toxin attack on the White House. If the result was confirmed, it could mean the president [Bush] and I, members of the White House staff, and probably scores of others who had simply been in the vicinity had been exposed to one of the most lethal substances known to man.”
