No problem! I'm just trying to lock down our VPs schedule while he is here in DC and this was a priority meeting for us. I just need to double check one more thing with him and I will get back to you ASAP.
I think we will need an hour for this meeting. I'll be back in touch soon.
Mike

I would like to request a meeting with you the week of April 24. Dave Whikehart, our Vice President of Environment, Safety and Corporate Affairs will be in town for meetings and we would like to specifically discuss with you the point of obligation with the RFS. As you are aware, we are one of the refiners who opposes such a move and I think we have a lot of good data and the right person in town to make a compelling case for leaving the point of obligation in place with the refiners and importers. Additionally, I wanted to share some data with you that will help supplement our future conversations. Attached you will find a presentation with a variety of different data points. The first part of this presentation goes into who exactly the Rvos were broken down for 2017 and even gets into specific details on actual demand for products like E0, E15, and E85. Along with the RVOs, there are some slides that show how RINs work and how they flow through the system. We originally pulled these earlier in the month, but if it helpful, I can have Dave pull any day of the year and he can show you the math always works out the same. And finally, we just have some high level points on the point of obligation, as well as our letter to the EPA.

I hope this information is helpful and that we are able to find a time that last week of April to get together. In the meantime, please let me know if you have any questions or would like any more information prior to our meeting.
Mike
