I think you should pursue. You need to decide how widely you publicize this, whether you should give a heads up to anyone at State or WH, and whether we do this alone (which is fine with me) or in conjunction with anyone else.

CNN (Anderson Cooper) had a very poignant piece on kids and famine in Somalia. On today.

Subject: RE: WFP USA Statement on the Horn of Africa & Food Security

Thank you very much. Per the recommendation in the Statement, I am planning to send letters to Secretary Clinton, the UN Secretary General and the current president of the Security Council suggesting that they call an immediate meeting of the Security Council to urge all nations to help secure unfettered humanitarian access to southern Somalia. Please let me know if you think I should not pursue this action. Thank you very much.

Subject: WFP USA Statement on the Horn of Africa & Food Security
Dear Randy, Dan, Sandy & Hunter,
Attached is a draft Statement concerning the Horn of Africa and the overall effort to address global hunger. I will not finalize or release the Statement until you review it – as it calls for specific action of the UN Security Council. I look forward to your comments/input. Thank you very much.
All the Best,
Rick
