Hope you're well. I'd like to introduce you to Menashe Shapiro, a current law student at Georgetown who clerked on our committee last fall. Menashe is interested in clerking for OIRA or elsewhere at OMB this summer or fall and is available to work for academic credit. Menashe did an outstanding job for Senator Cruz and would be an asset to your office. Menashe, Hugh is a longtime friend who served in the first Trump administration and then at the Conservative Partnership Institute. He's now back at OMB for Round 2. We've known each other since my time at the Heritage Foundation back in 2014. Please feel free to reach out and share your materials with him. Best, Robert Robert M.
