on issues - and few of them. I hope that they are taking a very well deserved week (or longer) of vacation. Kerry seems to have been everywhere for the last several years - though there were a few breaks.

There was a BG story on Kerry and McGovern and Frank asking Grossman, the state treasurer to divest Hess holdings, as the state is fighting with them over a liquid natural gas facility - http://www.boston.com/news/local/massachusetts/articles/2011/04/19/mass_asked_to_divest_from_hess_over_lng_project/?rss_id=Boston.com+--+Local+news (Obviously, JK had to sign off on the letter, but his staff is likely to have done any work on it. There was a quote from Kerry in an article where Brown said he wanted tax cuts in the bill to raise the debt ceiling. Kerry's quote sounded very much like what he said in a Senate speech in March - about a need for an adult discussion.

There was also a letter to the World Bank on energy - http://www.bicusa.org/en/Article.12422.aspx
