Daniels led the list of speakers—which also included U.S. Sen. Ben Cardin of Maryland; Harold Varmus, director of the National Cancer Institute; and Montgomery County Executive Isiah “Ike” Leggett—in a program meant to recognize the alliance of government, business, and academia that resulted in the cancer institute’s decision to move to Johns Hopkins’ Montgomery site.
