VP wants me to take care of the Nucl/Rad countermeasure situation since
he does not have confidence in the scattered others. Issue is that this is not my primary area of expertise. He wants me to do it anyway. Nice compliment, but this will be a lot of work. Also, Anthrax situation evolving at Anacostia Naval Post Office. Possibly contaminant.

Went to West Wing of WH to brief VP Cheney on Nuclear and
Radiological Threat Countermeasures. As I was crossing Pennsylvania Avenue to enter West Wing at 9:30 AM, there was an alarm that a small aircraft had encroached upon
WH airspace. WH was evaculated and many machine gun armed Federal police
appeared. After a while they let us in, but the VP had already been scooped off to safety and so the meeting was cancelled and rescheduled for a few days from now. President Bush was in UK at the time.
