Hey, John, 

Good to chat yesterday.  I am out of my lane here, but Linh Nguyen - apparently someone you are considering for the OPM transition team - is a terrific guy.  He was my wife Kari's boss for years, and he is very solid and well respected.  

Thanks for giving him a hard look.

Hi Kari,

Great to talk with you.  Max Stier had recommended me to Sally Katzen, who in turn was supposed to give the list to Podesta.  Attached is my bio/info that I submitted.

Sally’s email address is below. I don’t know who Lisa Brown and Joani Walsh is.  Would appreciate Denis vouching for me should my name come up.  I don’t care what position I end up with, I just want to contribute to the transition.  I’m doing my best to manage my expectations 

Will be in touch after tomorrow.  Please give Denis for all of us here in Albuquerque.

Thanks,

-Linh

max has such good things to say about you and i am delighted you have agreed to co-lead the opm post-election transition team

attached is an info sheet for you to fill out and i will send the ethics pledge as soon as the lawyers stop revising it

there will be a training session for team leaders next friday from 10:00-1:00 in Wahington -- we hope to have conference facilities so you don't have to make an extra trip here

we will get you all the papers either before or after the meeting

keep your fingers crossed for tuesday
