Mack has been pushing this with WJC for some time now. WJC has not responded to me or Mack when it’s been raised. I’m sure you know what that means. Fortunately, WJC is less Irish than I am – so I’ll go back at it again. Personally, I’m not sure what he brings to the table – but again, that’s the Irish in me See below I talked to Richardson a couple of weeks ago. He wants to bury the hatchet. Not really looking for anything. Just to be able to say that they have put the past behind him. Heard from Villereal too. Although slightly galling, I think we probably should have WJC call Richardson. Jose thinks he can deploy Bill effectively. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Dear John, Good Tuesday morning. Know you’re busy managing and leading Hillary’s campaigns and are on planes, trains, automobiles and buses in doing so. Would really appreciate our having a brief (5 minute) call regarding our bigger-than-life friend Bill Richardson. Bill’s relationship with both the Secretary and President Clinton is a complicated one as you likely know and understand. I think there’s a natural opportunity to get things in better order for all the parties (our friends) concerned. And I think given Bill’s profile and positive statements about Hillary and her campaign (and his appropriate criticism of some of the Republican candidates, namely Rubio), this is a timely and important matter. I think it has the potential to be a relatively easy fix but will take some purposeful effort on our parts to accomplish that. Just let me know what might be a convenient time for us to connect or you can just call my cell phone (202.329.5742<tel:%28202.329.5742>) and I’ll try to be alert for your call. Many thanks for your consideration. I would not have reached out to you if this were not important in my view. Best to Mary. Mack
