New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani said preliminary tests show some "indications" of anthrax spores on the clothes she wore when she checked herself into the Lennox Hill Hospital on Sunday. But there were no other clues. Although the basement supply room where she worked had recently included a mailroom, there were no reports of suspicious letters or other obvious causes for alarm. "So far all of the environmental tests at the hospital . . . all of the environmental tests taken at her home" have been negative, Giuliani said. The mayor also said one of Nguyen's co-workers had reported a suspicious skin lesion and was being tested for anthrax. At the White House, spokesperson Ari Fleischer said, "We don't know how (Nguyen) contracted the anthrax," and that government scientists have been doing their best since the anthrax threat first surfaced to find its source. "Somebody is trying to kill the American people by sending anthrax through the mail," Fleischer said. "The president believes the actions of the government have saved lives.
