If 11a Monday works for you and my colleagues, let's go with then. My preference would be in person (again, assuming that works for my colleagues as well). I will send over some topics/Qs tomorrow, since it I has just dawned on me that today is Thursday and not Friday. Thank you for making yourself available to discuss.

There is bicameral and bipartisan concern about what is happening (or not) and that is likely to grow as we are already reading in the media reports of impacts. If we need to elevate, please let me know. I am cc'ing my fellow clerks for awareness and should they wish to join. Thank you. Daniel Daniel A.
