Great. Can get you a copy of the memo. Top 10 definitely worked. A few outlets - eg mark knoller at cnn - did pieces just about the tweets and of course they seem to have won peter baker over. Can start you off @johnpodesta with some replies to comments that came in @podesta44. Unsurprisingly the ufo tweet was your most popular ever.

Let me know if you make it downtown tomorrow; if not, happy to talk by phone or do weds in person.

Talked to Rieser. Good conversation. He is ready to catch if someone pitches on ESF.  Thx on Ethiopia. Don't think we should send electronicly, but I would like to see final on paper. Hopefully we can catch up tomorrow on strategy for Twitter. Top 10 seems to have worked.  Don't know whether it makes sense to go to CAP if we can't get in.

Howdy. Hope you’re enjoying your brief respite.

On the memo: Changes made, Gayle is reviewing. The POTUS book closed early today because he’s traveling back, so it’ll go up to him tomorrow. I tweaked the first couple of words to say “On my departure” rather than “before I leave” as he’ll get it…after you’ve left.

In the random questions department: Did you get a chance to talk to Tim Reiser about Palau before you left?

Let me know when you want to talk Twitter in more depth. Imagine the government will be closed tomorrow if we get the anticipated snow, so I’ll be in the office but not wall-to-wall.

Is in the top desk drawer. I cc’d Denis Susan and Gayle. Can you get it to Gayle for review before sending forward. It should be very limited distribution but ok to give to Joani for transmission to POTUS.
