Hi Jamar, Just wanted to provide you with an update. I spoke to the NSC and they wanted Deputy Secretary Palm with a +1's, Dr. Fauci and Dr. Walensky to attend the DC. If they couldn't attend, they would authorize Mitch Wolfe and Ian Watson. Unfortunately, this meeting requires everyone to have a TS/SCI so that we can request OTRIs for all of them--so the Deputy Secretary will not be able to attend. Dr. Walensky is authorizing Mitch Wolfe to attend for her being that she won't be in DC. We're currently working with NIH to see if Dr. Fauci can attend. So, Dr. Fauci, Mitch Wolfe and Ian Watson have been put in for OTRIs for this meeting. They can attend this meeting at the HHH SCIF. Special authorization will have to take place if anyone wants to go the WH. I have asked that the NSC provide Dr. Fauci with that access just in case he's interested--we're pending approval. Otherwise, he can attend here with everyone else. I hope this helps with an update. Please feel free to call me if you have any questions or concerns. Thank you. Sincerely, la ONS OFFICE OF NATIONAL SLOURITY Alisa R.

    Jamar, In speaking with Alisa this morning, she is working with the WH to get whomever HHS nominates for the DC the necessary accesses for the meeting. We were going to recommend Ian Watson (ASPR) given his WMD experience, but we will need to know who the HHS front office would like to attend so we can convey this to the WH for program access. Thanks, V/r Brett an, an,

    Hey Brett: All this sounds great. Just hit me up with a blurb explaining the unique circumstances. I'll flag for leadership here and we should be good to go. _____________________________________________

    Hi Jamar, This meeting is highly classified and only TS/SCI cleared staff can attend that are appropriate for a DC. Who's selected will need to have a one-time read in (OTRI) requests completed through two IC agencies. We didn't want to push Ian forward alone, if there is someone in the front office that is cleared and wanting to participate. Once they're identified I can submit the request for authorization. There will be no material to review this OTRI access is only for the meeting. Please let me know, thank you so much! Sincerely, Alisa R.

    Inline-Images: Picture_(Device_Independent_Bitmap)_1.jpg; Picture_(Device_Independent_Bitmap)_2.jpg Hi Bill, See below - further to my separate email a couple of minutes ago requesting to do a secure call with you soonest. We need to ensure Dr. Fauci is aware of a DC this Friday from 11:00-12:30. He can only participate from our SCIF or the WH (we requested approval) because of the special access compartments (we'll do a one-time read in for approximately 9 compartments), so I would like to coordinate on this as soon as you can. -thanks, Lisa Lisa Aguirre Director (Acting), Office of National Security U.S. Department of Health and Human Services _____________________________________________
