Went to dinner reception at the home of Assistant Secretary of Defense
for Health Affairs William Winkenwerder in honor of Dr. Khudair Abbas, Health
Minister of Iraq. Present among others were Kristen Silverberg (who spent time in Iraq –
see above regarding the books of HPIM-15 that I sent to Iraq), Ken Bernard, Surgeon
General Richard Carmona, Congressman Fred Upton, etc. Iraqs really want me to go to
Iraq for moral support of the Iraqi medical establishment and health system. They were
all very appreciative of the books that I sent. It is still very dangerous in Iraq, but I am
pursuing going with Secretary Thompson in Jan/Feb if possible.
