Francis: As per our conversation yesterday, here is the document that we have been working on for several weeks with multiple revisions. You will see my final edits that I put into the document today. As mentioned to you over the phone, the exercise morphed over weeks from a consideration of how we can improve the process of the development of countermeasures against emerging infections and bioterror threats to a new "bold" strategy. This process has been driven by Heidi Avery, Deputy to John Brennan, in the Homeland Security component of the new National Security Council. The decision was made final this afternoon that we will meet with the POTUS tomorrow at 2:00 PM to present the draft strategy. Heidi Avery will present the strategy and I will be present as a subject matter expert to be available to answer questions on the scientific aspects if necessary. I will let you know how it went. Best regards, Tony

In context

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

Tony, Thanks for turning this around so quickly and for the nuanced edits. We got them into the version going to the President. Richard

Subtle, but demonstrably better in tone. Good luck tomorrow. Mike -------------------------- Sent from my BlackBerry Wireless Handheld. Please excuse my typing; I suffer from blackberry thumb syndrome.
