For the past 2 weeks, Mark Dybul, Terrell Halaska and I have been
working on a proposal for prevention of mother-to-child-transmission (MCTC) in
developing nations to present to president Bush who wants to use this as an

announcement of a major initiative at the G-8 Conference this summer in Ottawa. Terrell
asked me to put it together for her and I enlisted Mark Dybul who did a great job with
me. I and Terrell had several pre-meetings at the White House Conference Center on
Jackson Place during early May and then today Mark, Terrell and I met with Gary Edson
and Jay Lefkowitz of the WH. To present our plan to save 146,000 babies from being
infected per year for a cost of about $100,000,000 per year. Gary and Jay loved the plan
and will present it to the President within a couple of days. It was a great meeting and
they were very impressed at how we organized the data and the presentation.
