Hunter, I hope all is well with you. I just wanted to follow up to see in
you if you had heard back from your father's staff about his willingness to
provide an article he has written or speech he has delivered that we could
publish in this year's Journal of International Affairs.

As previously discussed, it can also be a new piece that he or his staff
would craft that focuses on the importance of public service and/or careers
in international affairs.Either way we would be pleased and honored to have
the Vice President as the headliner for the 2014 Edition of the Journal.

The goal of the IR program is to expose students to a rigorous course of
study in international relations so that they might become leaders in the
field.
As you may recall, the Journal is edited and produced by the students at
the University of Pennsylvania and is now the premier undergraduate journal
of international relations in the US.

Thanks again for your help and do let me know when you come to Penn so I
can take you to lunch. All the best, Jim McGann
