Pentagon cuts anthrax vaccine program amid supply squeeze
The Pentagon will vaccinate only troops headed to the Persian Gulf for at least 30 days, removing Korea deployments from the program to conserve scarce doses. Bioport’s manufacturing delays limit supply, with hopes for broader production by late next year and possible alternate suppliers.

U.N. agency seeks food for North Korea aid effort
The World Food Program seeks over 800000 tons of food to feed eight million North Koreans and cover crop shortfalls from droughts and typhoons. Rice output dropped 31 percent and corn 235000 tons below 1999, with total cereal imports needed about 1.87 million tons from Nov 2000 to Oct 2001. United States and South Korea remain major donors, while access and water contamination remain critical issues.
