If you have a longer release, we could probably shorten our quote if that helps you. Your call.

We will use this quote in a press release highlighting all the stops Administrator Pruitt makes during his visit to Texas. This quote will be included below the paragraph highlighting his tour of Toyota. I should have a draft of the release written by tomorrow afternoon that I can get in front of you before it's finalized.

We are fine to develop a recommended quote, but I want to be sure that we are fully understanding. If you do want press, is this going to be a press release? Do you want a Toyota quote as well?

This timeline and rough agenda looks great. To Tate's point, the Administrator often will not eat at meetings but of course would take no offense to your bringing in lunch for the rest of the group. We shall leave that up to you. My colleague Forrest, copied here, will travel into Dallas on Wednesday, the 9th and will likely reach out to you in hopes of scheduling a time to do a walk-through of the location. Kindly let us know if there are any outstanding items we can address for you at this time. We look forward to meeting you next week.

Run of show proposal (happy to edit if you guys have something else in mind) First hour: Tour of new campus with emphasis on environmental sustainability components. Second hour: Time with 5-8 Toyota executives to discuss issues ranging from the state of the auto industry, development and deployment of alternative fuel vehicles, CAFE, California ZEV mandate and any other issues of interest to the Administrator. If needed, we could cut both segments down to 45 minutes. 17cv1906 Sierra Club v. EPA ED_001523B_00001832-00005 Thank you.
