Hi John - I called your home number and your wife kindly gave me your email. She said you're out of the country, so I might not hear back right away.  My reason for contacting you is spelled out in e-mail below, sent to your Georgetown address.  Any help/guidance you can give me on the Tribe/McConnell alliance much appreciated - All best, Eleanor

Hi John, I'm writing piece for Daily Beast on unusual alliance of Lawrence Tribe and Mitch McConnell on EPA regs on coal - Tribe saying they're unconstitutional and McConnell urging states not to adopt them. You helped push the administration's climate policies into high gear when you were in the White House, and I'd be interested in your perspective on this case of odd bedfellows, and what happens next. We can do it on background if you prefer.... Also, I'd like to establish a line of communication with you before you decamp to NY and take over the reins of the Clinton campaign, and things get crazy.  My direct line at the Beast is 202-626-2030; my cell is 202-257-6388 - Please let me hear from you, Thanks so  much, Eleanor Clift, DB, Washington
