We'll take a look and try to get you answers. I'm out tomorrow and Friday, and we're handling the POTUS visit tomorrow, so we're completely underwater. Is there any possibility for us to get back to you by COB Monday? I know it's longer than ideal, but just want to make sure we are able to give this the attention it needs. Thanks!

The DOJ unfortunately needs the additional information ASAP, so if you could provide it by tomorrow that would be very helpful. As a first matter, we'd like to know who is the ultimate decision-maker for the team. There is a policy decision to be made, as described below, and we want to ensure the appropriate person is looped in and making the decision. Questions from Last Call 1. Should NIH should stop its blocking non-viewpoint neutral keywords? NIH should stop blocking the following keywords immediately: Facebook Peta Petalatino Instagram Peta When this is done, please let me know so I can give the date these keywords were no longer blocked to the DOJ. In terms of the following Instagram filters: #stopanimaltesting #stoptesting #stoptestingonanimals The DOJ is leaving this as a policy decision for NIH. The ideal solution would be for NIH to still achieve its desired goals without having these one-sided keywords blocked. For example, if the hashtag #testing is blocked, will that also block
