Dear Chris,

Tomorrow is your day - I wish you good luck. We just had a meeting
with our boss and he instructed us to seek for every opportunity to
meet with the President elect.  Officially, our ambassador to
Washington, Arturo Sarukan, is in charge of making the contacts to
seek the meeting with the President elect. Should he contact you? Or
would it be better for me to direct him to someone else?  We know the
obvious person is John Podesta, but please let me know if there is
somebody else we should contact.

In reviewing the presidential meetings, we realized that four U.S.
Presidents elect have seen their Mexican counterparts: Calvin Coolidge
(1924), Ronald Reagan (1981), George H. W Bush (1988), and William
Clinton (1993). Since George W. Bush could not meet President Vicente
Fox as President elect, his first trip abroad was to Mexico in
February 2001.

Abrazo y buena suerte!

Rafael
