John,
I reached Jim Clapper in New Zealand and he is willing to stay on as USDI as long as I'm here.
Thus, the bottom line: the only two senior people I'd recommend asking to stay (for a finite
period – maybe a year) are Clapper and Secretary of the Air Force Donley (in the latter case
because he's so new and making real headway in cleaning up the Air Force).
Got an e-mail from John Hamre this morning. The PE continues to push him very hard to take
the Deputy job. I hope it ultimately works.
Bob
