TEXT:
I've left a message for Jeri Palast to get some info on Labor Dep't 

programs for the economically depressed.  I hope to hear back from her 

this morning.  The VP is scheduled to have lunch with the POTUS tomorrow.  

I will do a brief memo for Ron to include in the VP's lunch memo.

Doesn't the Labor Dept. already have this type of response team?  We 

should check with them to see what the existing situation is.

Subject: Fast Track follow up



The VP called Rep. Pomeroy last week to thank him for his support of Fast 

Track.  In their conversation, Pomeroy said that he wanted "to work with 

us on a higher profile effort for the economically depressed."  I followed 

up with Pomeroy at the Fast Track thank you reception.  He thinks that the 

federal government should have an organization similar to FEMA that 

assists economically depressed areas (for instance, when a factory closes, 

Pomeroy would like to see a federal response team that helps displaced 

workers get back on their feet).  



The VP said that he would like to bring this up with the POTUS at his next 

lunch meeting.  I will give you a bullet for the next lunch memo.



Thanks, DT
