Michael-

Happy new year to you too!  

I am out of the office for the rest of the week but let me see what I can find out.   I'll get back to you.

Also, we can't help but draw the conclusion that the PM's visit might coincide with the traditional Greek Independence Day celebration that takes place at the White House around the 25th of March ... Is the intention to have the PM participate as did his predecessor George Papandreou three years ago?

>> Eric,  thanks for your call Monday night. Following our call, Father Alex spoke with the Secretary General of the Foreign Ministry of Greece who also happens to be the former Ambassador to the United States (Kaskarelis).    Father Alex wanted to make certain the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was on the same page with the rest of us.  Secretary General Kaskarelis now understands that we have been working on this effort thru Hunter and the VP for quite some time and has relayed that message to Ambassador Panagopoulos.  That said and per our conversation an official request will be submitted thru the proper protocols. However, Father Alex requests that we continue in our efforts simultaneously as a meeting between the Prime Minister and President could help stabilize an extraordinarily volatile situation in Greece. Mr. Samaras' Government needs a "shot in the arm" or show of confidence that can only come from the World's Leader - President Obama.

>> Finally, a while back I had asked Hunter for an introduction to AMTRAK. My dear friend Vik Dewan is the President of the Philadelphia Zoo and they have embarked in a massive transportation expansion. Part of the Zoo's expansion requires a discussion with AMTRAK and to a lesser degree SEPTA. Hunter had mentioned that making an introduction would not be a problem.   Would it be possible to follow up on this sometime soon?  Thanks!
