Professor Norton,

I hope you had a happy New Year, and were able to find sometime to relax. I
never heard back from you regarding my previous email and wanted to make
sure I followed up one more time to see if you had any guidance or advice
about how to obtain a Congressional committee or staff job; especially as I
did not receive offers for the two jobs that I have interviewed for thus
far. I realize both you and Professor Biden are incredibly busy, but would
greatly appreciate any chance to hear your thoughts either in person or via
email or phone. Please let me know if this is possible when you get a
chance.

Kind Regards,

Dewey Klurfield
