    Dr. Tabak: As you know, President Biden has asked the Intelligence Community to collect and analyze information regarding the origins of COVID-19. As part of this review, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) has asked HHS to share any data and information that may be relevant to this inquiry. HHS supports this review by the Intelligence Community and is cooperating with ODNI's request. As an initial step, we would like to set-up a time to talk to you about what potential relevant data and information NIH might possess to share with the Intelligence Community. We'll have a few people from the Office of the Secretary on and you should feel free to include others from NIH. Ideally, we could all talk by Wednesday at the latest. Yvette Hubert, the Executive Assistant in our office, will be reaching out to coordinate schedules. In the meantime, if you have any questions or would like to discuss further, please let me know. You can also reach me at Thank you. Kevin Barstow Senior Counsel Office of the Deputy Secretary U.S. Department of Health and Human Services [E]"

    Kevin, Pleased to speak with them. As you no doubt noted during today's meeting there are several NIH staff who are more knowledgeable than I am, and I would like to include them - Alan Embry and Elodie Gedlin to start. Also, If there is an interest in what we have in NCBI data bases I would include Steve Sherry. May I reach out to them sharing the contents of your note to engage them in this? Thanks, and best wishes, Larry

    Please include everyone you mentioned, including Steve Sherry. The first step will be to have an internal conversation about what data and information might be relevant to share with ODNI and then it sounds like ODNI would be interested in a meeting between subject matter experts. However, we can take it one step at a time and discuss internally first. Thanks so much.
