From a memo to the American University community from Facilities Management:
… The Army Corps of Engineers [is trying to] remove World War I era debris from areas around the AU campus… [The debris] resulted from the US Army Chemical and Weapons testing in this region from 1917 to 1918.
… [We have] confirmed the presence of mustard agent [near the president’s house]… A guard has been stationed at the site 24 hours a day…
