Good afternoon. This is Paula Dobriansky. It is a pleasure to take questions directly from the general public - via the internet - regarding our international efforts to combat avian and pandemic influenza. I would like to open with a bit of information regarding the action taken by the President on Tuesday.

Philip Reeker, Counselor for Public Affairs at the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad

Good evening (it's eight o'clock here in Baghdad). It is a pleasure to be with you today. Friday is part of our "weekend" in Iraq (where they observe a Friday-Saturday weekend), but here in the Embassy there are always a lot of people at work. I have been here about two months now.

Dr. Edward Lazear, Chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers

It is a pleasure to be here today to share my thoughts with you on the nature of the current economy. I appreciate all of the interest shown by the many questions submitted. There are so many questions that I will only be able to answer a small sample of them, but I will try to select questions that are representative of the issues raised by a number of you.
