Army Corps to reveal list of munitions found in D.C.

WASHINGTON (AP) - The Army has lifted a security order concealing a list of World War I-era munitions uncovered in Washington's Spring Valley neighborhood.

At a community meeting Tuesday, officials with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers said the list of recovered munitions would be made public next month.

D.C. Delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton brought officials to update residents on the cleanup of chemical munitions from an American University experiment station during World War I.

Col. David Anderson, commander of the Army Corps' Baltimore district, says they are still concerned about security but want to be more transparent.

He says workers are rebuilding protective structures at a vacant home behind the university where the chemical agent mustard was uncovered in August. Work will resume there in November.
