[Memorandum from Daniel R. Lucey]

Addendum: Dr Vahey mentioned later in the day (Monday, 24 Aug) that Mr Shepherd Smith had come into her office with LCOL Redfield about two weeks earlier to discuss what HIV viral burden information should be presented at the 5th NIH HIV Vaccine meeting. Shortly after Mr Smith and LCOL Redfield walked out of Dr Vahey's office, Mr Smith returned by himself to Dr Vahey's office to comment on the importance of including the "control" (non-gpl60 recipients) patient viral burden data. At approximately 1900 hours, 24 Aug 92, I saw COL Burke in the parking lot outside the lab. I asked him whether Mr Shepherd Smith had any medical, biological or scientific training or background. COL Burke said that Mr Smith did not have any such training or background. I asked COL Burke what Mr Smith does and what position Mr Smith holds in the "Americans for a Sound AIDS Policy" ("A.S.A.P.") organization. (Publications from this "A.S.A.P." organization have been in the WRAIR Dept of Retroviral Research area). Col Burke said that Mr Smith was the President of A.S.A.P.. I asked Col Burke what position LCOL Redfield held in A.S.A.P. and COL Burke stated the title of the position LCOL Redfield had in A.S.A.P.. I asked COL Burke if he held any positions in A.S.A.P. He replied that he was on the executive committee of A.S.A.P. I told COL Burke that Dr Vahey was planning to speak with him about the phone call she received from Mr Smith earlier in the day. I told COL Burke that I did not want to say anything to him about the phone call before Dr Vahey had the opportunity to speak with him. -4 -
