WASHINGTON (AP) -- The White House is planning a summit to talk about preparations for swine flu.

The White House on Thursday announced details for a July 9 meeting at the National Institutes of Health. Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano, and Education Secretary Arne Duncan plan to participate. White House Homeland Security Adviser John Brennan also plans to joint the group.

President Barack Obama will be in Italy that day attending meetings of the G-8.

Sebelius says the swine flu threat could worsen in the fall and the administration wants to start a national campaign to help stem a serious outbreak.

Duncan says everyone needs to play a part in keeping the flu from spreading.
