On Friday, the White House announced Democratic hack Ron Klain as the point-
man on the Ebola crisis. But despite his new role, which is being described
as some as the Ebola czar, Klain was not in attendance at the White House
meeting on Ebola on Friday.
At least 21 other White House officials, including the vice president, were
either in attendance in person or via video conference. Including the White
House communications director. But not
Here's the White House's readout of the meeting:
Readout of the President’s Meeting on the Domestic Ebola Response
The President this afternoon convened a meeting with members of his
national security and public health teams coordinating the whole-of-
government response to Ebola. The President’s advisors updated him on the
status of the contact tracing process to identify and, as necessary, monitor
all individuals who may have come into contact with the Ebola patients in
Dallas following their exposure. The team also discussed plans to augment
resources available to state and local authorities in Dallas. Specifically,
in order to ensure the Dallas response is nimble and capable of leveraging
effective coordination between the federal, state, and local levels—as well
as with frontline healthcare workers—the administration, working closely
with state and local officials, will support or designate the appointment of
senior personnel to serve on the ground in Dallas. These officials include:
· An experienced Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)
coordinator to ensure all federal assistance is meeting the most urgent
needs; and,
· A White House liaison to fulfill the President’s pledge to
provide all necessary federal resources. |
