Thanks TK. Would be great to be looped in with the substance folks after it's delivered. Should be a good opportunity.

Hi John
I spoke with WJC about this tonight. He said he was interested and would do the event if we thought it was a good opportunity. He asked if Chu invited him. I said YES via You. Let me know if you would like to deliver and I can go forward with planning, or however you see fit. 
Best

Terry,
Secretary Chu called and asked me to raise the possibility with President Clinton of his keynoting the DOE's ARPA-E Summitt on February 29 or 28 in Washington DC.  29th is their preference. This is the premier energy innovation conference sponsored by the Department annually and could definitely be worth his time. High level of press attention.  Didn't want to raise unless you thought it was plausible.
