WASHINGTON (AP) -- FBI officials say they are investigating reports of a letter containing white powder and a dead fish that was sent to a Department of Homeland Security employee in Washington.

FBI Washington Field Office spokeswoman Katherine Schweit says authorities were called Friday to a downtown Washington office building on Vermont Avenue. She says the letter was addressed to a homeland security worker at that location.
