Fort Detrick RIF Cuts Civilians By 60 Percent Since 1969
Since November 1969 the civilian force at Fort Detrick has shrunk by over 60 percent after Nixon halted offensive biological warfare research. The latest action reduces 337 more civilian jobs, leaving 572, with 200 others affected by retention and retreat rights. Senator Mathias urged action to avoid delays and pledged help locating work nearby. Senator Beall said HEW may reuse Fort Detrick for NIH or other agency needs, potentially restoring jobs. The four-phase RIF began with 45, then 219, then 295, and yesterday 337, while 10 related activities remain separate.
