House Hearing of Government Reform Committee on the flu crisis
today. I testified together with Julie Gerberding and Lester Crawford (Acting FDA
Commisioner). Mostly they slammed FDA for not acting more aggressively to monitor
the Chiron plant and pick up contamination.
       Bush shuffling around his Cabinet following election victory. People that I know
are moving out of positions where it was good to have a contact for me and into positions
where it is also good to have a contact. Condi Rice to State, Margaret Spellings to
Education. Much rumor about TGT and whether he will go to DHS or whether it will be
Fran Townsend if Tom Ridge leaves.
