(We are hoping to get a photo or film of him holding the certificate, which we would use to represent him receiving the award during our online ceremony in May.) Please provide the postal address where it would be most convenient for him to receive this certificate. Many thanks, Charlotte Charlotte Hallé Director Dan David Prize Office: Mobile: Email: @tauex.tau.ac.il Website: www.dandavidprize.org Released Five of the 16 people mentioned byare above Chairman Randand probably Israeli Paul none of them has any significant connection to the Israeli government. Comment by Israel A. Cohen Tel Aviv, Israel inactive member of the Florida Bar cc: Editor, Spectator Barbara Gastel (Texas A&M) NIAID news room Ariel Porat, president, TAU Dan David Prize email I think it is fair to say thatReleased by Chairman the occurrence of the Covid Rand Paul pandemic significantly increased the likelihood of Dr. Fauci becoming the sole recipient of one of the 3 Dan David Prizes awarded this year. The pandemic brought into sharp focus his contribution to this and other serious health crises during his career. The reasons for his visibility are cogently explained at https://theconversation.com/10-reasons-why-anthony-fauci-was-ready-to-be-the-face-of-theus-pandemic-response-150596 It is not fair to say that he received the $1 million prize "as a payoff from Israel". The Dan David Foundation is a private charitable organization similar in concept to the organization that awards the Nobel prizes. The Dan David Prizes are almost as large but definitely not as well-known as the Nobel prize. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nobel_Prize However, the method of determining who receives them is similar. There are 12 members on the board of the Dan David Foundation. They are listed at https://www.dandavidprize.org/about/the-board Four seem to be US citizens, including Henry Kissinger who was the US Secretary of State. Four seem to be Israeli, including Ariel David (son of the founder) and Ariel Porat (president of Tel Aviv University). Four seem to be French, including Emmanuel Roman who spent 18 years at Goldman Sachs. There were 4 members on the Review Committee who evaluated potential recipients of the prize that Dr. Fauci received. They are listed at https://www.dandavidprize.org/about/review-committees 1 - Prof Elizabeth Miller of the Faculty of Epidemiology & Population Health in London, UK. 2 - Prof Philip Greenland at Northwestern University in Chicago, IL. 3 - Prof. Fred Binka at the University of Health and Allied Sciences in Ghana. 4 - Prof. Daniel Cohen, Head of the School of Public Health at Tel Aviv University in Israel. Five of the 16 people mentioned above are probably Israeli and none of them has any significant connection to the Israeli government. Comment by Israel A.

Page # 16 The award has been given on a regular basis consistently since 2002. Under which selection of award recipient is made pursuant to written standards? Page # 11 According to the Dan David Foundation website, The Dan David Prize covers three-time dimensions - Past, Present and Future - that represent realms of human achievement. Each year the International Board chooses one field within each time dimension since 2002. Nominees are evaluated by reviewing the importance of the work, its impact and its projected influence in the relevant field. https://www.dandavidprize.org/about/about-the-prize. It has been confirmed that the Review Committees are indeed independent from the Tel Aviv University and chaired by international experts. Is the recipient expected to present a lecture? Page # 31 Expected to attend the award ceremony and virtual symposium at which recipients are expected to give a presentation. Presentations are talks about their work over the course of their careers, rather than current science and theory. NEO Specialist Summary Analysis The award was found to comply with 2635.204(d). Also confirmed that the organization is not seeking official action from the employee, subordinate, or agency under the employee’s official responsibility (5501.111). The gifts associated with the award include a $900,000 cash prize which have been found to be permissible and are not prohibited under the Emoluments Clause, nor the Foreign Gifts and Decorations Act. The Dan David Foundation and the website confirm that the 2021 Review Committee (See page 24-27) selected by the Dan David Foundation and the Foundation’s Board (See pages 24-27) is responsible for the selection the Laureates. All of which act independently and not part of a foreign government. Based on the analysis above, this award meets the regulatory requirements of a bona fide award under 5 CFR 2635.204(d) Linda D.
