               I think we should still ask him to raise.  It's the title that worries me.

One way or the other he intends to fund Next Gen Action, but he assumes if he is doing something formal with the campaign he'd leave it to Chris, Ted and Josh to execute c4 work.  I don't think he wants to talk to her about what the structure of a carbon price would be, or whether ARPA-E is the right size. Doubt he will ask her to say something on Keystone, but I suppose that's possible.
