Subject: Exploring a run for Senate

Neera and Carmel,

You may have read today that I am considering a run for Barbara Mikulski's Senate seat. I did in fact speak with the New York Times this morning, and I told them - off the record -- that I am considering it.

At this early stage, that is the extent of the truth. I have no definite plans to run, and I am only exploring the possibility. In the coming days and weeks, I hope to be able to consult with both of you about this decision.

Can you please pass this note along to John? I don't seem to have his e-mail address.

Ben
