Even busier day today. Spent 3 hours in White House Situation Room
with Julie Gerberding, Carol Kuntz, Kristen Silverberg, Bruce Gellin, Michael Jackson
(Deputy at DHS), Alex Azar, Tom Reilly (OMB), Joel Kaplan (OMB), Tevi Troy (NSC),
Ken….., and others to sharpen and focus the presentation of Sec. Leavitt for the POTUS
for the following day. Then Julie and I testified before the House Committee on
Homeland Security, Subcommittee on Prevention of Nuclear and Biological Attack.
Chaired by John Linder, minority – Jim Langevin. Also present were Chris Shays, Jane
Harmon, Ed Markey, Normal Dicks, Eleanor Holmes Norton, Donna Christensen, Bennie
Thompson, Ron Simmons, Bobby Jindal, Michael McCall, Jim Gibbons. Good Hearing
for me, but only fair for John Vitko (DHS). Also testifying were Julie Gerberding and
Gen. Eric Schoomaker. One of several Hearings on BioD. Norton gave Julie some flack
(she always gets on Julie).
        After the Hearing we (Julie and I) went back to HHS and spent the next 2 hours
again briefing Sec. Leavitt for the POTUS briefing. At the briefing were Leavitt, Rick
McKeown, Alex Azar, Natalie Kochnour, Bill Raub, Bruce Gellin, Stewart Simonson.
We are getting close to having it right.
