Dear Frank,
Nice to see you last night, I hope you had fun. I sent this note to Eryn yesterday, I just wanted to make sure John Podesta had a heads up that his name will be in a story concerning the White House's ethics policy, which could run on Monday. I don't mention anything specific about the Wyss contract (since I never got a response from you on it), but I do mention that both Wyss and Steyer were CAP donors while he headed the organization. 

This is just one line, pretty low down in the piece, but I don't want him to be surprised since we never discussed it face-to-face. Can you just make sure he gets this note over the weekend?

Thanks very much.
Juliet

Dear Eryn,
I hope you had a great time on your cruise, and have had a less-hectic schedule since returning to CAP. 

I just wanted to give you and John a heads up on a story that might run as early as Monday. Long story short, it's about the ethics rules Obama adopted in 2009, and how they've been implemented. In that context, I mention that some WH officials have had ties to advocacy groups and activists before entering the WH even if they weren't formally lobbyists. I mention that John accepted donations from Hansjorg Wyss and Tom Steyer when he headed CAP, and obviously they care about environmental issues. I had asked Frank about this when John was still in the WH, but we never closed the loop on this.

Anyway, it is just one line well into the text of a long story, but I didn't want it to catch you both off guard.
Best,
Juliet
