#1 I recall that there is an extensive supply in Niger. Perhaps we should retain an ex-diplomat with local connections to reconnoiter the situation. I understand mint tea is a preferred local beverage for just such discussions.

Make sure VP Biden is aware of the assignment, just for everyone's information.

#2 Fresh uranium is nice, but a little spendy for everyday use. I usually buy day-old uranium at a local factory outlet store.

#4 Iran has its own uranium mines. All yellowcake is, is just leeched ore. Iran's consumption of yellowcake should also be very regular. As such, they should have long ago arranged for small replenishment amounts to be smuggled into Iran. Why wait until they were short?
