Hunter - thank you for calling Gayle Smith.  We hope she will allow Jon Brause to remain with WFP to continue running the WFP Washington Office.

o   Jon was informed by Cousin that USAID wants him back; he does not want to leave WFP

§  Cousin told him that Gayle said, "we need him back"; Cousin said to Jon,  "don't fight it"

o   Our team has a great working relationship Jon; we work as a close-knit team

o   At this time of unprecedented need, it is important to have a substantive person in this position, someone who understands both WFP and the USG

o   Please ask Gayle to leave Jon at WFP.

Thanks!
