President Bush says there will be NO negotiating--
He wants Afghanistan to turn over terror suspect Osama bin Laden.
The Taliban had offered to turn bin Laden over to a third country if the U-S stops bombing and offers proof of his guilt.
Bush says there's no question that bin Laden is guilty.
Meanwhile, the number of people exposed to anthrax grows to 12, with the addition of a police officer and two lab technicians in New York.
The U-S Health and Human Services Secretary says he considers the anthrax cases in New York, Nevada and Florida to be cases of bioterrorism.
Jennifer Miller is in Washington this morning with the latest.

And while the U.S. Coalition is raining bombs on the Taliban, it continues to drop food and supplies to thousands of refugees.

Were feeding some hungry people that got displaced. A lot of children, a lot of women.
But these humanitarian efforts are being ignored in parts of Pakistan, where Islamic parties sympathetic to the Taliban are calling for a general strike.

(Nats)

The Taliban, meanwhile, has had their latest offer of compromise rejected by President Bush. Returning from Camp David, the president was clear: Osama Bin Laden and the Al-Qaeda network remain the primary targets.

SOT: George W. Bush
Turn him over! Turn him over, turn his cohorts over, turn over any hostage they hold over, destroy all the terrorist camps. There's no need to negotiate! There's no discussions!
Across the country, the fear of Anthrax is still rising and even those charged with protecting the public have been hit hard. In New York, two lab technicians and a police officer have tested positive for exposure.

SOT: New York Mayor Rudy Guiliani
They are being treated, but I want to emphasize this does not mean they have anthrax. ))

A suspicious package prompted the evacuation of Richmond's Amtrak station for about three hours , but police have now sounded the all-clear. Police say a green duffel bag found inside the terminal around five o'clock yesterday afternoon triggered the alert.

Authorities X-rayed the bag -- and saw something suspicious. But the bomb squad later determined the suspicious object was nothing more than a re-wired electric razor. By eight o'clock, police had cleared the Amtrak station to reopen for business.

FOR EXAMPLE- THE ANSWER TO EVERY PROBLEM IS A PRESCRIPTION.
YOU KNOW- MOST MEDICAL CONDITIONS- ESPECIALLY LONG TERM ONES - SHOULD BE TREATED FIRST WITHOUT MEDICINE- SUCH A LIFESTYLE CHANGES TO LOWER BLOOD PRESSURE.
ANOTHER REASON TO TELL YOUR DOCTOR TO HIT THE PIKE- YOU GET THE FEELING YOUR DOCTOR IS ALWAYS SAYING: ITS MY WAY OR THE HIGHWAY.
A DOCTOR PATIENT RELATIONSHIP IS A 2 WAY STREET- WE'RE PARTNERS. AND OUR JOB IS TO RECOMMEND AND ADVISE- AND IF YOU DON'T AGREE- THATS YOUR RIGHT.
YOUR DOCTOR'S NOT A LISTENER. MORE THAN HALF OF ALL DIAGNOSES CAN BE MADE BY WHAT YOU SAY- NOT BY EXAMINING OR DOING TESTS- THATS NOT TO SAY YOU DON'T NEED THOSE THINGS- BUT LISTENING IS IMPORTANT.
