===On September 11, 2001===
Hauer was serving as a "senior advisor to the Secretary for the Department of Health and Human Services, for national security and emergency management," and also as "Managing Director of Kroll, Inc." Having just left the NY's Office of Emergency Management.

He was a "very close friend" of John O'Neill, an FBI agent focused on counterterrorism who became the Director of Security for the World Trade Center in the summer of 2001; just prior to the 'attack' of 9/11. Hauer had drinks with O'Neill on the night of September 10, 2001. The night before the 'event'. O’Neill perished in the WTC collapse on 9/11, and their friendship has been scrutinized for potential intelligence connections, given O’Neill’s prior warnings about al-Qaeda threats. This is documented in Crossing the Rubicon (p. 423)


On the evening of 9/11, Hauer advised Vice President Dick Cheney and his staff to take the antibiotic Cipro as a precaution against anthrax, days before the anthrax letters were mailed. This decision, reported by The Washington Post, has fueled speculation about foreknowledge of the anthrax attacks.

On 9/11, Hauer appeared on national television, interviewed by Dan Rather, where he supported the emerging official narrative that the WTC towers collapsed due to fire from the plane crashes, dismissing the need for pre-positioned explosives. 

Post-9/11 Activities and Influence:

In June 2002, Kroll (a CIA front) purchased [[Convar Systeme Deutschland GmbH]], a German firm hired after September 11 to recover data from damaged computer hard drives found in the WTC wreckage. In his role as a bioterror agent/consultant/U.S. government official, Hauer had a "direct hand in making decisions about elevated threat levels from the Department of Homeland Security and the Centers for Disease Control."

He served on the board of Hollis-Eden, a "prime beneficiary of the multi-billion dollar Project Bioshield," a 2004 law that granted "huge vaccine and research contracts to the pharmaceutical industry." In 2003, in a wargame exercise (TopOff2) in Seattle and Chicago, Hauer played the role of the head of FEMA.

He became the "go-to guy for every epidemiological or biowarfare issue since September 11," including anthrax, smallpox, West Nile Virus, and SARS.
During his time as head of New York's OEM, Hauer had a confrontation with Steven Hatfill, the FBI's chief person-of-interest in the anthrax cases. Hatfill reportedly "disclosed too much information about methods of biological attack," and this confrontation was reported in The Washington Post. Hauer’s confrontation with Hatfill, combined with his BioShield ties, has been interpreted as evidence of involvement in anthrax-related cover-ups or profiteering. However, his actions align with his role as a bioterror advisor, and Hatfill was later cleared of anthrax suspicions.
