		<description>Hi Mahmood, congratulations on being invited to speak at Rand.

I am excited for you as Washington DC is one of my favorite cities in the world.

Please eat at The Old Ebbitt Grill it&#039;s just steps from The White House and museums in downtown Washington. Established in 1856, it was a favorite of Presidents Grant, Cleveland, Harding and Theodore Roosevelt and is still a popular meeting spot for political insiders, journalists, celebrities and theater-goers. They are famous for their steak salad. Yum, Yum!http://www.ebbitt.com/main/home. It is NOT expensive.

I love to walk &quot;The Mall&quot; or sit under a tree by the National Gallery of art. The people watching here is fabulous!!

The National Portrait Gallery is another one of my favs.  Stately pics of all the Presidents.

I have lived and spent alot of time in DC and my sister worked on the hill for years so if you have questions drop me a line.

Kind regs...</description>

If you have time and would like a VIP tour of the great Yale University (in New Haven, Connecticut, about a ninety minute train ride from NYC), let me know and I will set it up for you.  I read your blog regularly and would love to meet you and to introduce you to some of Yale&#039;s excellent students from the Arab World.</description>
