I don't think this is going to hold until Monday.  We've been calls to confirming various committee member names.  They mostly already have Elijah's name ... 
Perhaps her announcement should be more about the public participation opportunities ??

We like the idea of announcing on Monday Andrea Mitchell and wonder if it woudn't be even better to have her and Elijah Cummings do Andrea together.  Then he can own some of the fair and open to all views stuff.
We publish her speech tomorrow so that it is in the ether and then she can point to it as a demonstration of unity and optimism by Monday.

Subject: Face the Nation Backup Plan

Good afternoon, 

Face the Nation is focusing on the Egypt Air tragedy on Sunday and the chair will not be on the program. So our plan to make news on FTN has fallen through. 

The chair and I were just talking about a back-up plan and she asked me to share this idea with the team: 

* Like we were going to do on FTN, have the chair appear on Andrea Mitchell's MSNBC program midday Monday to make the announcement.

The other elements that have been discussed would still remain in place. All this does is push the announcement back 24 hours. 

Please share your thoughts. 

Thank you,

Ryan
