Hunter:   

I am glad to hear that you made it.  It is a very long haul.  Mohamed has your email address and knows you are there.  I am sure he will find you one way or another during the next day or so.  

You may already know this but Secretary Hagel just left for the Middle East and is participating in a ministerial in Saudi with the GCC defense ministers including, I assume, the Qatari defense minister.  As you may know, there is a US base in Qatar, and the Qataris get along well with our military folks.  
is what happens to me whenever I participate in the Forum -- I suggest you go find a cold beer in a smoky pub, which, if my memory serves me, is in the basement of the Ritz.  But other than panels and speeches and conference attending, that's about it when it comes to action at the Ritz.  You missed Thursday night at the 4 Seasons.  

See you when you get back.  

Greg

Greg-
Arrived in Doha. Let me know if there is anything I need to do to touch base with Mohammed. I'm staying at the Ritz where the conference is. Best, Hunter
