Good Afternoon, I'm Kimberly McBroom.
C-B-S News says an employee in Dan Rather's office has tested positive for the skin form of anthrax.
It's not clear yet HOW she became infected.
Network officials say the woman is expected to make a full recovery.
The cutaneous form of anthrax is the same type that an assistant to N-B-C's Tom Brokaw contracted after she handled a letter addressed to him.
According to C-B-S radio, the network received a letter containing anti- American and anti-Israeli messages.

The terrorists being sentenced include: Rashed Al - Owhali
(All-a-wall-ee) of Saudi Arabia, K-K Mohamed of Tanzania, Wadih El-Hage
of Texas, and Mohamed Odeh (O-Day) of Jordan. All were convicted of
conspiring to kill Americans in the 1998 bombings of U-S embassies in
Tanzania and Kenya. The attacks killed 224 people - including 12
Americans.
Al-Owhali and Mohamed were also convicted of murder but were not given
the death penalty because the jury feared retaliation. They now face
mandatory life sentences.
Meantime, the mastermind of the embassy bombings and now the World Trade
Center attacks Osama Bin Laden remains at large somewhere in
Afghanistan.
STAND-UP: Much of the testimony in the trial for the four men disclosed
that the Bin Laden organization reached far and wide, and that Americans
were targets.... a warning that didn't prevent the attacks of September
