This page will have a new format next week. Al Kamen's In the Loop column, including contributions from Metro reporter Philip Rucker, will appear Monday through Friday as the transition to a new administration begins.

In addition, veteran transition expert and author Paul C. Light, a professor at New York University's Wagner Graduate School of Public Service, will offer regular analyses of how the incoming Democrats are doing. The Post and the Wagner School will track nominations, and Senate confirmations, as the new administration takes shape.

We want Loop Fans to assist us in tracking the transition by letting us know where Bush administration officials are resettling. Send e-mail tips or announcements to movingout@washpost.com.

And please let us know what you're hearing about who is in line for jobs in the Obama administration. Write to movingin@washpost.com. Anonymity guaranteed.

Our regular e-mail addresses are kamena@washpost.com and ruckerp@washpost.com.
