Briefed the President about the potential for an H5N1 pandemic
influenza. At briefing were the POTUS, the VP, Karl Rove, Josh Bolten, Kristen
Silverberg, Dan Bartlett, Scott McClellan, Fran Townsend, Michel Gerson, Claude Allen,
Julie Gerberding, Sec. Leavitt, Scooter Libby, Philo Hall, Rajeev, etc.
        The POTUS was very pleased with the briefing and asked the right questions. He
was favorably disposed to our suggestion of considering having the USA public have kits
of antimicrobials (Tamiflu, CIPRO, etc) in their homes in case of an emergency in order
to get around the problem of distribution of drug to tens of millions of people in an
emergency. We are going to pursue this approach with Symposia to get the flavor of
what the community thinks of it and then we will pursue it.
