Strauss/OVP, Lorraine A. Voles/OVP, Heather M. Marabeti/OVP cc: Debbie B Bengtson/OVP Subject: Ron's Absence Ron will be out of the office starting late Thursday afternoon, and will return on Tuesday afternoon. Debbie will have a number where I can be reached. As for coverage in my absence, let me suggest the following: 1. Erskine's meeting, 7:45 am, on Friday, Monday, and Tuesday: David, you should attend, unless you cannot, in which case, Lorraine has expressed a willingness to attend. 2. OVP Pol/Sched/Comm Meeting, 9am, on Friday and Monday: I would cancel Friday's, but urge you to have one on Monday to plan for the week ahead. 3. OVP Sr Staff, 9:30am, Friday, Monday, and Tuesday: Again, David should lead these meetings, unless he cannot, in which case, Lorraine should chair. Note that Friday's meeting is for Scheduling Planning. 4. POTUS-VP Lunch, mid-day, Tuesday, 2/25: David, you should assemble a memo for that lunch which includes any items that you, Karen Skelton, Katie McGinty, Greg Simon, Elaine Kamarck, or Kumiki Gibson might have. It needs to be to the briefers by 9:15pm, on Monday night. You might want to remind folks at the Friday senior staff meeting to provide submissions. 5. General Coverage; You should have Debbie check in each morning with Erskine's office to see what meetings need coverage, and then should attend or send representatives accordingly. Make sure that Lorraine or Ginny attend all communications meetings, Karen Skelton all political meetings, and Charles Burson all "scandal" meetings. That should be about it. Thanks!
