The US military has used nearly $370 million in the search for antidotes against biological weapons. But it seems that this money has not been used as some expected. This is what the report prepared by a US Congress Committee says.

According to this report, nearly $100 million has been spent on research into non-hazardous substances during the war: specifically, at the Atlanta Disease Control Center and national institutes of health.

In the report published by Senator Hohn Glenn, chairman of the Senate Governing Affairs Committee, the Pentagon has had to resort to foreign suppliers to incorporate soldiers participating in the Gulf War.
