Met with Bono again at the Jefferson Hotel for breakfast. Also present
were Jamie Drummond, Lucy Matthew, Katrina and Erin Chapman. We spent almost 2
hours going over options for how we can drive the agenda for universal care, prevention

and treatment for HIV infected people worldwide. I emphasized the importance of
engaging Russia, India, and China because of the large populations in these countries in
which a mere increase in prevalence from 1% to 2% in countries like India and China (I
billion people in each country) could quickly create a pool of infected people that would
equal all of Africa. He will be meeting with Condolezza Rice this afternoon to push for
the USA getting involved in a major way with money (billions) and leadership. I am
impressed with Bono’s good intentions and his intelligence and energy. I am
disappointed that I cannot tell him about the program that Mark Dybul and I have been
working on for the “comprehensive implementation” plan. Hopefully, we can make this
public soon so that we can engage Bono’s assistance with his bully pulpit.
