Dear Ambassador Albright:

My colleague Dr Toby Rodman mentions having conversed with you at the celebration for
Seth Glickenhaus at the American Jewish Congress the other evening. The topic was global
health, and diplomatically attractive initiatives on the US’ part.

It is hard for me to believe that Tim Wirth has not already put the enclosed document in
your hands, but in the event I am also sending it on. He can of course fill in many further
details on where this "CISET" initiative stands in the process of being put before the
president, perhaps for a PDD.

If your work at the UN does engage you with global health matters, please remember I am
just a stone’s throw up the East River, and very much involved with these issues, and as an
adviser to many USG agencies.
