Hi, I hope you're all doing well.  I wanted to send this group a quick note because I have accepted a new job and will be leaving USTR in several weeks - so they will need a press secretary.

Because the TPP is a major priority for the Obama Administration in its final year, it's a uniquely demanding time for this agency and they want to aggressively work to find a replacement who can start as quickly as possible.

If you know of smart, hard-working people who may be interested in the job, or if you yourself are, please feel free to reach out to me.

And I'm happy to answer any questions you may have about it.

All the best,

Andrew
