Hope this assists you in establishing my credibility in court

[Guest guest]

To the Marines on Okinawa and others, who wish to use materials I have

written:

In a courtroom you normally have to demonstrate the qualifications of

the persons whom you use as " experts " . Therefore I am listing my

publications and the capacities in which I have been considered an

expert on anthrax and biological warfare, to help you establish my

credibility. This research and writing has been in addition to my

full-time job as a practicing internist and emergency physician.

I have a BS degree in Biology from MIT (1974) and an MD from the

University of Mississippi Medical School (1980).

Meryl Nass, MD

Medical Letter Consultant -- for chemical and biological warfare

treatment and prevention

Member, Federation of American Scientists Working Group on Biological

Weapons Verification. Coauthored a report which describes the most

comprehensive methodology for the investigation of allegations of

biological weapons ever published. This report was presented to the

Biological Weapons Convention Review Conference in 1996.

Consultant, Cuban Ministry of Health, 1993. I identified and

analyzed possible etiologies of an unprecedented epidemic of 50,000

cases of optic and peripheral neuropathy. As a result I was invited to

Cuba to meet with top Cuban researchers, where I assisted in the

planning of further evaluation and treatment regimens.

Investigator: I spent three years studying the world’s largest

recorded anthrax epidemic, which took place in Zimbabwe from 1979-1980.

I developed methods to distinguish a natural outbreak from an episode of

biological warfare, and published a detailed analysis of the epidemic in

1992. In 1998, the Minister of Health of Zimbabwe acknowledged in a BBC

documentary that anthrax was in fact used for biological warfare in his

country, and confirmed a number of the conclusions in my report.
