Will do. So proud we can establish this to honor his memory.

I would be grateful if you would take this to the gift acceptance committee at your earliest convenience. We still need to work out with the family the details of how and when to commemorate this. That is likely to be delayed until such time as their schedules are more clear than they are now, and may be several months away. What is clear is that a scholar (no formal limitations) will be rescued every year in Attorney General Biden's name, and priority should be given to scholars connected with places and institutions and disciplines that were important to Beau, eg placements in Delaware and at UPenn and Syracuse (and maybe elsewhere) and/or scholars from Iraq or other places that are part of Beau's legacy, and other considerations such as law and children's issues that were important to Beau and therefore would be important to the family.  It would be great to consult Senator Ted and me in each case but none of these are formal restrictions. The important thing is that we should rescue a scholar each year in Beau's name, and all the rest of this would be in the category of "nice to have, if possible". For now please let's keep this completely under wraps, except with the members of the gift acceptance committee from which I hereby recuse myself. When ultimately we publicize this in a dignified way, the donor will remain anonymous, and honoring Beau's memory will be paramount. Thank you very much. Mark
