        4. DUSTY AGENT SAMPLES WERE PREPARED USING A MIXTURE OF SIMULANTS
        AND/OR SILICA ADSORBENT. MIB AND M256 KITS EASILY DETECTED VAPOR
        FROM DUSTY AGENT POWDER SUGGESTING DUSTY MUSTARD CAN BE DETECTED BY
        OUR STANDARD VAPOR DETECTORS. THE M272 KIT COULD DETECT ANOTHER TYPE
        OF SIMULANT AFTER IMPREGNATED POWDER WAS PLACED IN WATER. THE NBCRS
        IS THE MOST RELIABLE METHOD TO DETECT THE VAPOR.
        5. THIS DOES NOT ANSWER ALL THE QUESTIONS. AN INTERIM RESPONSE WAS
        WAY OVERDUE. REGRET THE DELAY.
