Gentlemen,

Good afternoon.  First off, my apologies for the late submission.

As for my paper topic, I could use some guidance.  I am a National Security
Law LLM so I want to make my paper topic relevant to that subject area.  I
am especially interested in Congress's role in investigating the Snowden
disclosures.  From a practical perspective, I am interested in how National
Security lawyers in the Executive Branch play a role in satisfying Congress
while also maximizing the chances that their respective agency continues
its mission with minimal Congressional interference (while touching on
privilege issues).  Perhaps you will have some input into how I can refine
this into a topic that is relevant and manageable.

Thanks.

Regards,

Brian Sullivan

 Good afternoon everyone--

The paper topic discussion schedule for 2/24 and 3/3 is posted on the
website and attached to this email.  If for some reason you cannot make it
to class tonight, please let me know immediately.  Discussions with
Professor Podesta will be in his office in 417, and discussions with Judge
Leon will be in the 588 classroom.

If you have not yet sent in your paper topic to Professor Podesta and Judge
Leon, please remember to do so as soon as possible today.

For the first hour of class tonight, when you're not pitching your paper
ideas, please read David Margolick's 2006 Vanity Fair article on Jack
Abramoff (attached, and link
here<http://www.vanityfair.com/politics/features/2006/04/abramoff200604>).
Tonight's guest speaker is The Honorable Earl E. Devaney who served as IG
at the Department of Interior during the Abramoff saga.

Thank you,
Eryn
