Mr. Gates does have an upcoming trip to DC on September 13, but is in an all-day meeting then. His next trip after that to DC is not until the end of October and I know Mr. Gates would love to have the meeting sooner than that, in Seattle, if at all possible.

Unfortunately September is quite busy for Dr. Fauci and he will not be able to make a trip out west. If that changes I will let you know but it is very unlikely. Having said that - Dr. Fauci will be at the Gates Fdn Malaria Forum in Seattle on October 18th - I believe he is speaking at that meeting. I am not sure exactly when he will be able to fly into Seattle but perhaps we can have something work out then. Let me know if you think that October date may work. Thanks and I look forward to hearing from you. -patty Patricia L.
