    I understand this a little better now. Maybe I should bring this up at my

    lunch this week.  Also, make sure that Leon F. contributes to my lunch

    memo anything that I need to clear vis-a-vis the Russia trip. Thanks.

    The NSC is in the process of drawing up the Executive Order on this

    expansion right now.  What has to happen is for the VP or Ron to contact

    Sandy Berger or Tony Lake and make the case for our person.  They said it

    required really heavy lifting to get Foley et al to agree to expand just

    by one, but that they made the case based on Holbrooke's credentials. We

    will need to make an equally compelling case.  You may want to go ahead

    and call now. As soon as I know more about how far along it is, I will

    e-mail you again.
