Went to Situation Room in the White House at 3:15 PM.
Cold, very damp, gray day.    Purpose to discuss the H5N1 situation and
brief the National Security Staff (NSS) about my upcoming trip to the
Geneva meeting scheduled for Feb. 16-17, 2012.    Present at the
meeting: John Brennan (Chief, NSS), Heidi Avery (Deputy Chief),
Francis Collins, Amy Patterson, Bill Corr (Deputy Secretary-HHS), Sally
Howard (Chief-of-Staff to Sebelius), Bill Shultz (OGC-HHS).    NSS
concern was what we would agree to or not at the Geneva meeting.    I
tried to explain that the information was already out there and
multiple papers have already described the methodology.    I explained
that what I wanted to get out of the meeting was a transparency to
others about what we are trying to do in order to get away from this
USA-centric perception.    Of note, after the meeting, Heidi sent an e-
mail to Bill Corr saying that there are certain “redlines” that we
should not give in to at the meeting. I fear that she is not fully
getting what I want to accomplish at the meeting.    Also, of note, she
mentioned in her e-mail that she does not want total unbridled
availability of the information in the papers (her “redline”) even
though she knows that certain USG scientists do not agree with her. I
am certain that she is referring to me.
