Hi John,

I recognize you are probably in SOTU madness, but just wanted to say thanks
for giving me the opportunity to join your meeting with Secretary Hagel on
Friday, and to visit with you.

Separately, it looks like the position with Tom Perriello is moving
forward.  The White House liaison for the State Department, Alan Fitts,
called me today and said they want to bring me onboard.  They clarified
that it's about the right level -- a Senior Advisor role, equivalent to a
GS-15.  Tom tells me I would basically serve as his Deputy, or his "right
hand" in writing the QDDR.  I am inclined to take it.

In the car, you said I should remind you to call David McKean and David
Wade on my behalf.  I leave it to your discretion whether you think it
makes sense to contact them given that the Perriello job appears to be
moving forward (of course, the processing takes months).  Would appreciate
any and all thoughts on this job, especially if you think it doesn't make
sense.

Hope all is well,
Caroline
