WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Congressional sources tell CNN trace amounts of anthrax were found in the offices of senators Ted Kennedy, D-Massachusetts, and Christopher Dodd, D-Connecticut, both located in the Russell Senate office building where an anthrax-laced letter to Sen. Patrick Leahy was addressed.

The small amounts of anthrax in the mail rooms of both senate offices mark the first time the substance has been found in the Russell building.

Both offices will be shut down at the close of business Tuesday to undergo further testing and decontamination.

Investigators believe it was cross-contamination and because of the minimal amounts found are not recommending medication for Kennedy, Dodd or their staffs, according to congressional sources.

Both the Russell and Dirksen buildings were shut down over the weekend for extensive environmental testing after a letter believed to contain anthrax addressed to Leahy's Russell building office was found late Friday at Virginia storage facility.

So much for what investigators believe huh?

"Not recommending medication for Kennedy?" Now that's a first. I guess liver failure has it's own immunity aspects.

.......are not recommending medication for Kennedy since blood alcohol level is by itself enough to kill anthrax spores on contact.
