I raised this with Bob Bauer and got some push back on limiting Monica's
involvement. His concern is that it sends the wrong signal given Monica's
ties and the respect people have for her. I sent Mark Gitenstein a note
indicating that I wanted to chat with him about it tomorrow. I noted that
her previous work at Fannie Mae raised somewhat of a cautionary flag, and I
wanted to talk through with him the best way to manage a transition role for
her.
