O&A Board Regular Registered: Jan. 01	CNN) -- A machine at a remote mail site that handles mail for the White House tested positive for anthrax, press secretary Ari Fleischer said Tuesday. He said environmental sampling found no anthrax at the White House. He said all employees at the facility and employees of the White House mailroom are being tested. "Antibiotics will be available to anybody [at the remote site]," he said. Fleischer said the positive test came back late Tuesday morning from a "slitter" -- a machine that opens envelopes at the remote mail facility, which is several miles from the White House at a military installation. The contaminated piece of mail has not been located. He said security procedures were in place before the September 11 terrorist attacks, but they have been enhanced since then. The enhanced procedures caused the bacteria to be detected, he said.
