Regular Monday evening meeting in the Situation Room of the White
House led by Heidi Avery with the usual cast of characters. Still inertia on HHS part and
agitation by Heidi. Couple of days later (~ March 3 or 4) Heidi called me at home at
around 10:00 AM very discouraged at the inertia and lack of imagination of HHS people,
particularly Peggy Hamburg, Nicki Lurie and Jess Goodman. Asked for my help in
getting the initiative going or she even said that it might be hopeless with this cast of
characters. She felt that Nicki was in over her head and that she was afraid of losing her
command of the situation instead of capitalizing on what Heidi wants to do. Heidi also
feels that Peggy is missing the big picture and that Jesse is hopelessly garbled in his
thought and expression. I will try to help her by formulating a plan with her to get this
initiative rolling.
