ESTABLISHED 195? March 3, 2020 Dr. Anthony S. Fauci anthony.fauci@nih.gov Dear Dr. Fauci: On behalf of the JASON organization, I would like to invite you to speak at the 2020 JASON Spring Meeting on "nCoV-19 science, status and implications", at the MITRE facility in McLean Virginia, April 24-25, 2020. It is an event held each year to address scientific and technical issues critical to U.S. national security. JASON is a group of approximately 60 academic scientists, founded in 1959, who advise the U.S. government on a broad range of issues affecting our nation. JASON members include 4 Nobel Laureates and 25 members of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences, with diverse expertise. We serve the Executive Branch of the government as a rigorously independent and impartial group. Each year we take on 12-15 topics for sponsors including the DoD, DOE, DNI, CIA, NRO, NGA, NSA, FBI, DOS, HHS, and others. We do this during an intensive 8-week summer study, culminating in a formal report on each topic. I hope you will join us at the 2020 Spring Meeting, which provides an informal opportunity to meet our members and other distinguished guests from the government, academic, and, commercial science and technology communities. Yours sincerely, Ellen D. Williams, Ph.D Chair, JASON The MITRE Corporation 7515 Colshire Drive McLean, Virginia 22102-7508 (703) 983-6997
