Met at the White House with Gary Edson, Jay Lefkowitz, and Margaret
La Montagne Spellings to present the Dybul/Fauci plan for comprehensive treatment and
prevention of HIV in African countries. This was in response to the original request by
Josh Bolten and then the specific request by Gary Edson to put together a plan based on
the ”Mugyenyi Model ” of Uganda (see July 17 above). Also present at the meeting was
Terrell Halaska, Joe O’Neill, Mark Dybul, and Allen Gilbert. Gary, Jay and Margaret
was extremely pleased and excited about the plan. They mentioned that we had done a
”fabulous” job. They asked us to respond to about 5-6 questions in writing. Clearly they
are going to run it by the President when he returns from his August vacation in
Crawford, Texas. He may well want to make this a Presidential initiative similar to the
MTCT proposal that we had put together for him.
