Met with the PCC (Policy Coordinating Committee) regarding the
response to the Fink report. The PCC adopted for the most part the responses of the
DHHS to the Fink report. We (Stewart Simonson, Stuart Nightingale, Amy Patterson,
Lana Skirboll, John La Montagne) have been working on DHHS’s response for several
weeks now.
         Also, I was on conference call this afternoon with Secret Service, DHS, DHHS,
FBI regarding a letter that contained ricin that was sent to Greenville, SC; however, now
a letter addressed to the White House also containing ricin has been discovered. The
discussions among the Secret Service, FBI, Department of Transportation, etc. is chaos.
It is somewhat embarrassing. The discussion centered around the investigation and not
the public health issues until DHHS (Bob Blitzer) brought up the fact that we really need
to find out who might have been exposed. This phone call was like the Keystone Cops!
