               Outline in Section II is an assessment of our current

           capability to respond to several of the biological agents. A

           common format is used to enable rapid consolidation of capabilities

           by response area (e.g., specific laboratory diagnosis, therapy,

           prophylaxis). Section III provides a review of clinical features

           distinguishing chemical neurointoxications from botulism.
