From McCain spokeswoman Jill Hazelbaker:
"At approximately 3pm Mountain time, a McCain staff
member in Denver opened an envelope that contained a threatening
letter and an unknown white powder. As a precautionary measure, the
campaign office was immediately closed and staff was sent to a
local hospital for medical evaluation. Local authorities as well as
the FBI and United States Secret Service have investigated the
scene and determined that the substance poses no threat.
"Also yesterday afternoon, a similar letter was found in the
campaign's Manchester, New Hampshire office. After closing that
office, the Manchester Police Department determined that there was
no threat.
"Senator and Mrs. McCain thank the local and federal authorities
for their swift response and will continue to monitor the situation
closely."
