   Hi Hillery, Sorry to be late in responding. We will actually be re-working the agenda to have the media briefing at the end of the day's agenda so Mr. Gates will have the opportunity to hear from Senior Leadership and be better prepared for questions from the media. I do not believe that we were intending for ICD to use slides, but rather have an open dialogue with Mr. Gates. Given the time allotted, it would appear that each topic would have between 12 and 15 minutes, and I imagine that the opening comments for each would be up to the lead discussant. I have cc'd Rob Eiss here on this e-mail as he has been working on the format and can relay any ideas that he has received from Dr. Collins. Please do not hesitate to contact me should you need anything further. Rob and I are hoping to hear from remaining ICD before the end of the week to pin down a more accurate agenda. Best wishes, Gretchen

   Thank you Gretchen. Very helpful. ROB: Dr. Fauci would like to be included in the tour of Bldg. 33 with Clif Barry and Kathy Zoon. As the schedule evolves, can you incorporate this modification? Many thanks again to you both. Hillery

   Inline-Images: image001.png Hi Hillery, Absolutely, that was our intention since both of the lab visits involve NIAID. The one positive in having to cancel the event due to the shutdown, is the availability of Dr. Fauci to participate on the rescheduled date. With regards to the format of the roundtable discussion, below is the note that Dr. Collins sent to the IC Directors and Deputies participating in the roundtable, prior to the cancellation I hope this is instructive and would be happy to provide any additional background and clarifications. The costs of the catered lunch will be supported out of the representational fund - covering both the guests and IC Directors. Best,
