John & Nikki -

I talked to Peter and Steph.  I would say that there were mostly satisfied
with my broad commitments and my insistence that we are hearing them and
will keep working with them but could not give answers now on policy
details.

But they really wanted me to commit to them that we wouldn't put money into
a middle class tax cut instead of a targeted funding for child care and, of
course, I told them I could not commit or comment - but I could say that we
will be making a serious investment in child care and want to keep working
with them on the details and have been very influenced by their paper.
They also wanted to know where we were on the specifics on their ideas on
promoting federal funds to be allowed to be used for organizing and
rate/wage setting, I stayed very broad but made firm commitment about how
much HRC wants to work on these goals with creative thinking and that we
thought their ideas were creative and a helpful starting place. They also
wanted more detail on where we are on home care and I promised to loop back
with Neera and Chris Jennings who had been meeting with them.

Peter does want you (John) to talk to Mary Kay again before the Thursday
meeting and her scheduler is going to reach out.

Think we are in a good place - they are worried that if they endorse, we'll
stop paying attention to them on the policy front and I promised that we
would not!

-Ann
