(BE) and chem. and biological protective clothing (CBPC) that could be used to produce and disseminate biol'l. warfare agents (BWA). GAO found that many items needed to establish a lab for making BWA were being sold on the Internet to the public from DoD's excess property inventory for pennies on the dollar, making them both easy and economical to obtain. It determined: the extent to which DoD is selling BE and CBPC that can be used to make and disseminate BWA; and whether existing Fed. regulations and guidance in DoD policies and procedures address the risk of public sales of these items. B&W photos.
