Casco, Tony (NIH/NIAID) [C] From: Fauci, Anthony (NIH/NIAID) [E] Sent: Friday, August 08, 2014 4:26 PM To: Kurilla, Michael (NIH/NIAID) [E] Ce: Heilman, Carole (NIH/NIAID) [E]; Marston, Hilary (NIH/NIAID) [C]; Lane, Cliff (NIH/NIAID) [E]; Mascola, John (NIH/VRC) [E] Subject: Task Attachments: Ebola MCM Time lines 08-07-14 v2.docx Mike: I just got off the phone with Robin Robinson and expressed to him my concern that the attached document was put together and distributed rather widely within the Department without any verification whether the timelines and objectives are feasible. He felt badly about how this rolled out. He confirmed our suspicion that this is really a "patchwork" of initiatives that have been collected at Nicki's instructions by contacting various people from various agencies and then this "timeline" was put together. He is as concerned as we are. One example is that he spoke with Larry Zeitlin from MAPP and Larry is not certain that they can even make enough zMapp to do a phase I/II trial during the timeline indicated. There are also other issues in the timeline. Robin then asked me to go over the document and indicate with tracked comments what we think is incorrect and/or what we think is not feasible. Could you please go over the document and do this and then send it to me to see before we send it back to Robin. Please copy everything to Hilary. Thanks, Tony
