Briefed Pres. Bush today in the Roosevelt Room on update in Pandemic
Influenza Preparedness. This was in follow-up of our previous meeting on July 29. I was
with Sec. Leavitt, Julie Gerberding, Bruce Gellin. On the White House side was the
POTUS, VP Cheney, Scooter Libby, Josh Bolten, Scott McClellan, Andy Card, Attorney
General Alfred Gonzales, Harriet Meiers, Robert Zoellig from DoS, and others. The
POTUS was very engaging. Half- jokingly he said that “Tony will have to fix this
problem for us with his research…” Another good and productive briefing of the
POTUS. Mention was made about not repeating the errors of Hurricane Katrina
response.
