Authorities in Boca Raton, Fla., responded to Rep. Allen West's office on Friday after a letter containing white powder was discovered, the Palm Beach Post reports.
A hazardous materials team tested the powder and determined it was not anthrax or any other biohazardous material, although an accompanying letter mentioned anthrax. By 4:30 p.m. emergency officials declared the threat over.
FBI officials also responded to the suspicious letter, which included derogatory references to West, an African-American.
