Okay. But it wasn't added. Was there any reason why you would not have added it at that time?

In context

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

    Okay.
  2. 2026-04-10 09:00 Ralph S. Baric open
    I recall that there was an issue about a grant that they wanted added.
  3. 2026-04-10 09:00 Christina Salazar open
    Okay.
  4. 2026-04-10 09:00 Ralph S. Baric open
    And that was in 2015. So that's what I must have recalled.

    Okay. So here's the email. Your response is dated November 7, 2015, and it's back to Dr. Shi. [Exhibit No. 1 shown.]

    And you asked her, "Was work performed under these grants?" So did she not answer? Because it looks like the initial email was from Peter Daszak that same day and it says, "Urgent. Please acknowledge USAID DC.Scheduling@LexitasLegal.com PREDICT and our NIAID grant in the paper with Ralph Baric." And she does ask you to do that.
