TEXT:
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
