Hectic but very good day. Started early in AM and went to Reserve
Officers Association at one Constitution Avenue, N.E. for a Friends of the Global Fight
Against AIDS, TB, and Malaria had a breakfast. Multiple speeches; Moderated by Mike
Gerson; several speakers called me out for my “pioneering work on HIV/AIDS”
including Bill Gates, Nancy Pelosi, Mike Gerson and others. I left the meeting at 9:00
AM, went to the AAI Council meeting in Rockville as I do every year to update them on
NIAID and then immediately went to DCA to fly to NYC to attend as guest of Bob Seder
and Debbie Harmon the Women for Women Gala in honor of Hillary Clinton at the
American Museum of Natural History at W 79th Street and Central Park West. I stayed
at the Excelsior on W 81st. It was an amazing evening. I was among about 12 people
who greeted and had special ‘audience” with Hillary Clinton. At my table (#18) was my
“dinner date” Cheryl Mills (we are becoming good friend), Virginia Moseley (VP and
Deputy Bureau Chief of CNN), Marty Edelman (Counsel to real estate practice – big
contributor to Wounded Warriors project), Norma Kamali (Fashion designer – flakey and
interesting lady who wants me to come to NYC again and talk to her “health group”
about immune enhancing), Nella Domenici (Daughter of Sen. Pete Domenici and sister-
in-law to Cheryl Mills), Ngozi Eze Nigeria Country Director for Women for Women),
Susan Goldberg (Exec. Editor of Bloomberg News). Also met with Sheryl Sandberg
(“Lean in” and COO of Facebook). Also, importantly met Jeff Zients who fixed the
computer catastrophe of the role out of Obamacare. Jeff will likely become Economic
Advisor to Obama. All-in-all a very festive evening. Clinton gave a great speech.

Returned to DC on 6:00 AM on Dec. 4 shuttle in time to be on panel at Georgetown
University Copley Lounge of the Global Fund. Was on panel with Eric Goosby, Tom
Frieden, Admiral Tim Ziemer (head of the President’s Malaria Initiative). My panel
moderated by Larry Gostin. Mark Dybul gave very moving speech as Keynote.
