I think this might have been intended for you.

Subject: Request for Economist

Steve Kean asked that I respond to your voice mail message to him regarding
your solicitation of government economists for your proposed May customer
conference. Let me suggest the following, each of whom has different
attributes:

1. David Wilcox, Asst. Sec of Economic Policy of Treasury, soon to rejoin
the Federal Reserve. David is an excellent macro economist but is not a
"big name."
2. Ted Truman, Asst. Sec of International Affairs, Treasury. Ted is about
join a think tank. Before his stint at Treasury, Ted served 26 years at the
Federal Reserve, many of which he served as Greenspan's right hand on
international currency issues. Ted has quarterbacked about every
international currency intervention conducted by the United States over the
last three decades.
3. Larry Summers, Secretary. Larry will be joining a think tank for a few
weeks. He may or may not be available. If the topic is of interest to him,
he is agreeable to travel and speaking engagements.

This is just my initial cut at some suggestions. Once we know the Bush team,
we may want to explore possible candidates from their ranks, although
government ethics rules may prohibit us from paying for their travel to a
"customer conference." Government officials can accept travel from
50l©(3)s, as a general rule.
