Got a fairly lengthy confidential briefing from WH sherpa tonight on draft G20 communique.  It's still subject to two days of negotiation, so may chabge a good bit.  There are no dramatic immediate steps -- instead lots of principles, action plans,etc.  Some we'd like more than others, but I didn't hear anything that's just horrible.

One big point, though, is intention to have another Leaders meeting no later than 3/31/09..  Wd probably be hosted by UK -- possibly by Japan.  This wd obviously be BO's fist big int'l gig.  Don't know how much we cd influence this if we wanted to, and I don't know that we'd want Bush guys in any way acting on our behalf.  But I wanted to let you know right away
