dr. fauc krrkfauci, do you w respo respond? >> sure. with regard to the letter, i'm sure you have a copy of the letter, there were several issues that were brought up in there. i agree with many of the things that dr. keim said. this is a strong board. a really good board. we've worked with them for a long time, so if they did, i believe as paul has done in the past, if you have an issue with something, you bring it up. the letter was sent to the executive secretary at the nih, dr. patterson. we responded on a point by point basis to everything in that letter. so we'd be more than happy to make that response available to you so that you could see the point by point discussion. again, there were important ibs about looking forward. there were several things in there that i must say quite frankly, mr. chairman, that i disagree with. one about the security briefing. as you know. i have a great deal of trust in the director of the national intelligence to tell us what we need to know. so that's just one example. the idea is as you mentioned
