BANGOR – Environmental Protection Agency officials will supervise testing of three of U.S. Rep. John Baldacci’s Maine offices for the presence of anthrax, according to the congressman’s spokesman.

The inspections, expected to be conducted within a few days, come about two weeks after a trace amount of the potentially deadly bacteria was found in the Democrat’s Washington, D.C., office.

No other members of the Maine delegation will have their state offices tested, according to the EPA.

Baldacci press secretary Doug Dunbar said Thursday that the new inspections were precautionary and in no way suggested that the congressman’s Maine offices were at increased risk for contamination.

“There’s no reason at all to believe it’s in any of the offices here,” Dunbar said from the congressman’s Bangor office. “We’ve received no suspicious mail. They just want to close the loop on this.”

In addition to the anthrax traces found in Baldacci’s seventh-floor Capitol Hill office, tests found the substance in the sixth-floor offices of U.S. Reps. Rush Holt, D-N.J., and Mike Pence, R-Ind., and also in the Longworth House Office Building.

Dunbar said the district offices of both Holt and Pence also were expected to undergo similar testing in the coming days.

Mark Merchant, an official at the EPA’s Boston office, said the new round of testing will be performed by an independent environmental cleanup agency from Braintree, Mass.

Baldacci’s Madawaska office, a part-time center that does not receive mail from Washington, D.C., will not undergo testing for anthrax, Dunbar said.
