I feel like you would probably remember that. In early 2020, I guess from January to February to that meeting, were you in the United States the entire time?

In context

A single line often inverts meaning once you see what it answers, so neighbouring messages are always shown.

    I know those emails have been FOIA'd multiple times, and it says exactly when I was supposed to meet them and where. So I would guess that they're in the DC.Scheduling@LexitasLegal.com packet that we sent.
  2. 2026-04-10 09:00 David T. Lambeth III open
    I'd be surprised if you didn't have them. If you don't, we can certainly get them for you.
  3. 2026-04-10 09:00 Christina Salazar open
    So you were here, physically, in the country on the 11th.
  4. 2026-04-10 09:00 Ralph S. Baric open
    Yeah. As far as I know.

  6. 2026-04-10 09:00 Ralph S. Baric open
    Yes, to the best of my recollection.
  7. 2026-04-10 09:00 Christina Salazar open
    If you weren't, I feel like you would've remembered, right?
  8. 2026-04-10 09:00 Ralph S. Baric open
    I would think so. But you have to realize what January and February were like for me. I had constant calls going on. And so it was a blur. It really was a blur.

    One of the calendar invites that we have says that the purpose of the discussion, for you coming in, was to discuss basic research that is gain-of-function, that will further understanding of coronaviruses and corona vaccine development, and two, to address the slowness of the U.S. government P3CO process. Does that sound like the conversation that you had?
