Thanks Amy. Looks good.
One thing in your notes... Jimmy Brock is the CEO of CNX Coal Resources (the operator of the coal segment)... essentially a subsidiary of CONSOL. For media purposes we'd ask that it is listed as CNX Coal Resources, as opposed to CONSOL to keep from confusing with natural gas business unit.

Also, a couple of other updates - the Administrator is now arriving at noon on Thursday so we are pushing things up and changing them around just a bit. Press will now be invited to get a photo spray at the beginning of the lunch in addition to the press portion of the event, so we will want to be sure there are miners in uniform participating in the lunch.

EPA ADMINISTRATOR TO VISIT PENNSYLVANIA COAL MINE, LAUNCH BACK-TO-BASICS AGENDA
17cv1906 Sierra Club v. EPA
ED_001523B_00001289-00003
SYCAMORE, Pa. - U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Scott Pruitt will speak with coal miners at the Harvey Mine in Sycamore, Pennsylvania on Thursday, April 13, to kick off EPA's Back-to-Basics agenda. The Back-to-Basics agenda refocuses the EPA on protecting the environment, promoting economic and job growth, and returning power to the states.
Administrator Pruitt will speak with coal miners about the President's recent Energy Independence Executive Order, which directs EPA and other federal agencies to review the Clean Power Plan and revise regulatory barriers that impede energy independence, including unnecessary burdens on coal miners and coal-fired electric utilities.
"What better way to kick off the EPA's Back-to-Basics agenda than joining hard-working coal miners who help power America. The coal industry was nearly devastated by years of regulatory overreach, but with new direction from President Trump, we are turning things around for these miners and for many other hard working Americans," said Administrator Pruitt. "I look forward to launching my Back-to-Basics agenda in Pennsylvania as we work to return EPA to its originally intended mission of protecting the environment without hindering job growth."
Members of the media who plan to attend this event must RSVP by emailing pressrsvp@epa.gov no later than 5:00 p.m. on Wednesday, April 12.
WHO: Administrator Pruitt and coal miners at the Harvey Mine - Patterson Creek Portal
WHAT: EPA kicks off Back-to-Basics agenda WHEN: Thursday, April 13, 2017
WHERE: Harvey Mine, Sycamore, PA 15364
NOTE: For more details on timing and location, credentialed members of the media must RSVP.
