Hillary Clinton Tries to Win Over Washington Lawmakers
<http://www.nytimes.com/politics/first-draft/2015/07/14/hillary-clinton-tries-to-win-over-washington-lawmakers/>

I just got notice that I'm going to get a small travel grant from the
Robert C. Byrd Legislative Studies Center to do some research this summer
that might eventually turn into a book. I'm negotiating travel now.  I
would love to make it in time for your Italian Fiesta for Pat Leahy, but
I'm not entirely sure that will be possible.  But I am definitely coming to
DC in the next week or two, and would love to be useful to you and the
campaign.  What ideas do you have???
