RE: [ihc] Sorry I missed yesterday's meeting-Note for October

Dear Rex,

This is quite interesting.  It would be useful to strategize about how
this should be included into the HIT Strategic Plan for HHS.  Also we
would be interested in participating in the NSF conference.
Preparedness money seems to be going away at HHS.  If you have any
thoughts regarding the correct strategy for disaster response this might
be another good topic for discussion.

With warm regards,

Peter

this type of thing also. ;)
