1) Blake Gottesman and I are going to set up a twice-daily phone call for the two of us to hash through various issues that need resolution.  I'm going to send out an email to senior transition team and let them know that if there are issues that need to be raised with the WH that they should let me know.  Most will be administrative stuff (like agency space, briefings etc.), but if there's anything more sensitive, I will get signoff from you in advance before I raise it with Blake.

2) MOU is fine.  Bolten will sign tonight, and I'll have a copy for you to sign tomorrow.  And then the agency teams can get to work.

3) Alyssa and I have been emailing about military aircraft.  The cost is significantly cheaper especially given Biden's frequent travels to Chicago, so we're going to explore the use of it on a reimbursable basis.  Unless you object, I'm going to send a letter to Blake to start that process.

4) We've already fired one agency team leader who leaked his work that he was working on a team.  So, we're taking very seriously the "no leak" mandate.
