Heidi Avery (see Dec. 30, 2009) called a meeting this evening (7:00 to
8:45 PM) in the Situation Room of the West Wing to discuss the broad plans to handle all
public health threats, i.e. existing, naturally emerging and deliberately emerging. Present
at the meeting was Zeke Emanuel, Nicki Lurie, Peggy Hamburg, Tom Frieden by phone
from Atlanta, Jesse Goodman, Brian Kamoe, George Korch, Richard Hatchett, James

Lawlor (latter 2 are my employees detailed to Heidi), Mike Kurilla, among others. Heidi
had asked us (NIH, CDC, FDA, HSS) through Nicki Lurie to prepare a 1-pager on this
initiative from each of our perspectives. Nicki consolidated the 1-pagers and we
presented the concept to Heidi. Heidi is aiming to get the POTUS to announce some sort
of initiative in the State of the Union Address on January 27. I am very impressed with
Heidi and her no-nonsense style of getting to the point and the question at hand. Heidi
mentioned to me as we left the Situation Room that she was relying on my “vision” to
help get this going. Let us see what comes of this.
