Daschle's office received letter with anthrax.
Well, of course. I mean, given everything else, why on earth would the people sending out the disease skip Congress? They're hitting media targets (although the selection of American Media is just peculiar), they're hitting large commercial outfits, why on earth wouldn't they go after Congress?
That said ... well, I suppose there are enough large commercial targets that warning people what to do makes sense. (Although you wonder why the FBI Advisory (PDF file) didn't add, "Don't open any letters postmarked Trenton NJ if you don't know who the sender is." I mean, given what they do know -- all known anthrax letters have originated from Trenton or Malaysia -- that would seem a remarkably basic precaution.)
