I realize that it sounds boring right now….   But I will draft it up by tomorrow and you both can decide then.  I will send the draft along with a justification for why it is important and helpful.  I just pitched it to Rick and he was reticent for about two minutes, but by minute 6 he was excited about the idea.
If you don’t like it when you read it tomorrow, then we may still use it but find different co-authors (although there’s no one better than you guys for this one!)  If you do like the basic concept, then we can continue work with comms to edit to your liking, pitch, etc.

+ Heather (who is loving this idea!)

She would love for you both to do a piece on why a comprehensive USG approach to food security has to include emergency and safety net components -- as these are key to the national security interests at stake. And also key to building a broad base for inclusive economic growth. And we would aim this at an outlet that would get Hill and Admin attention.

To be clear, though, I don't think Milken is the hook (the panels both of you are doing don't pertain to this and the conference itself is a pretty insular thing) but the timing of this specific piece is "golden" generally in Heather's mind :) politically.

Heather could get a draft to you all by late tomorrow if you can both let us know today is this all sounds good to you and/or if you have any questions, concerns or want to chat about on the phone.

Also - I'd like to maybe do a Huff-post like op-Ed on the urgent need WFP faces this year and going forward. Maybe something that can be published before Milken- and maybe Tony and I could co-author.

Transcript in case you missed it. Focus was mainly on South Sudan. Sucked that we gave her folks our website link to have PBS feature at the end, and she still referenced WFP.org<http://wfp.org/> on a U.S. program.
