Good evening, I apologize for the short notice, but there has been a change to Monday's schedule of events. Mr. Gates will need to depart NIH immediately after the Barmes lecture to participate in a White House event recently scheduled for the afternoon. While we adjust the agenda, please indicate your availability to participate in an abbreviated roundtable discussion sometime between 8:30 AM and 10:00 AM. Unfortunately due to time constraints we will not be able to accommodate everyone that was originally invited. We are truly sorry for the short notice and appreciate your understanding. Many thanks. Best wishes, Gretchen

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

    Hi Dr. Fauci, Francis directed the agenda back to Chris to see what Bill prefers. Based upon his response we will rework the agenda for the BSL3 tour and ICD round table. It is a shame we had to cut out the VRC. Rob and I will send around a revised agenda once the ICD respond. Thanks again for your flexibility.

However, I know that Francis is considering having Gates visit the VRC at 8:30 AM where I will show him around. Not sure whether Francis has made a final decision. In any event, I am available in the time frame that you indicate. Best regards, Tony
