Secretary Leavitt,
I like the fighting you describe. Cuba v.s. the U.S. in health diplomacy. People getting help that lasts more than a meal.
No fear that aide money goes for a new car, desk or payoff.
Real people seeing multiple governments work.
Rebles disarmend for basic needs are meet at one level. Sigh so many more basic levels need to be meet.
I can not always comment but please do keep posting.
Happy belated 4th of July to you and your staff. Looking forward to Tuesday’s (July 8th) HHS webcast. Ms. McCarthy (sp?)
Does a great job.

Hong Ray is Medline’s largest exam glove supplier.”
