I agree this should be a priority but continue to urge that we meet this priority within a global decision-making process, which I have no doubt we can and will.

Barack --

Following up on your conversations with John over the weekend, attached are two documents:

-- A list of African American, Latino and Asian American candidates, divided between Cabinet/Deputy and Under/Assistant/Deputy Assistant Sectetary levels, as well as lists of senior Native Americans, Arab/Muslim Americans and Disabled Americans.  We have longer lists, but these are candidates whose names have been recommended by a number of sources for senior level jobs in a potential Administration.

-- A list of women, similarly divided between candidates for Cabinet/Deputy and other senior level positions.

Please let us know if you have any questions.
