Sorry to send this after David has already looked at this, but I made edits
in the attached to address the following concerns:

1. To the extent she is at all likely to internalize it and remember it, we
would like her to name the tax credit for communities with factory closures
as the "Manufacturing Renaissance Tax Credit". It's how we branded it in
the stories popping overnight, and it's the best toehold we have to try to
make some aspect of this set of manufacturing principles "stick."

2. We would like to reserve the in-depth discussion of Pfizer and the
problem of inversions until Wednesday in Iowa. We have primed the press to
expect that Tuesday is "manufacturing day" and Wednesday is "Pfizer day."
Accordingly, I proposed a shift in LP's language so as to still refer
generally to the need to close tax loopholes, but to do so in a
foreshadowing type of way, saying the details are coming "tomorrow."
