“While opening routine mail today, I found a letter, addressed specifically to our organization, and inside was a threatening letter with a black powdery substance. We immediately contacted the authorities. Authorities asked my staff and I to remain in the building while the rest of the building was evacuated. We extend our deepest thanks to the professional men and women of Austin’s police and fire departments and their emergency response teams. We have been, and will continue, to fully cooperate with the authorities.â€
