Had extraordinary briefing of Democratic Senate Caucus on bioterrorism. Present among others were Sens. Lieberman, Daschle, Boxer, Mikulski, Cleland, Hollings, Wellstone, Jeffords, Biden, Wydan, Levin, etc. In all there were about 30 senators. They were extraordinarily complimentary to me for my public leadership on bioterrorism, calling me an “American hero”, a national treasure, etc. I thoroughly briefed them. They felt strongly that I should lead the nation’s efforts. I politely suggested that I prefer my present job.
