Dear Ms. London,
I am writinq a book on AIDS vaccine research for Delacorte
Press and, as per the Freedom of Information Act, would like
to obtain copies of all correspondence to and from Dr.
Anthony Fauci about AIDS vaccine development and testing.
Specifically, at the 20 May 1991 National Advisory Allerqy
and Infectious Disease Council meeting, Dr. Fauci spoke of
correspondence he has had with Congress and foreiqn
officials regarding efficacy trails of AIDS vaccine. Some of
this includes correspondence with Sen. Mark Hatfield and
with officials from Thailand and Australia.

academia, the World Health Organization, the Centers for
Disease Control, the US Army, Agency for International
Development, State Department, White House, and any related
intra-NIH/PHS memoranda that do not fall outside of the
Freedom of Information Act. It is difficult to be specific,
but the interested parties I know of at each organization
are as follows (though others may well be the contacts):
Industry: MicroGeneSys (Frank Volvovitz), Chiron, Repligen
(Sanford Smith), Merck, Chiron, Immune Response (Jim Glavin,
Jonas Salk, Dennis Carlo), Bristol-Myers/Oncogen (George
Todaro), Genentech, Immuno (Johann and Martha Eibl), Viral
