Mary,
Please see the follow-on questions from GAO regarding AFFF. These seem pretty straight forward and very technical, so I am thinking it might be best to generate written responses, send to GAO, and offer a conference call to discuss. I have also attached the OSD material regarding SERDP investments that has already been shared, FYSA.
Can we have draft responses for our internal review by next Friday, 10 Feb?
VR, Richard

Geoff,
Sorry for the delayed response on the investigation and clean-up cost information. I was trying to coordinate with OSD and the components to ensure we are at least providing you consistent level information, although I know it is not identical. We just finished this up the other day, so attached is our data as we discussed. I hope this meets your needs/intention.
Regarding your additional AFFF/MILSPEC questions, I will share with our team and begin getting written responses. Your questions are consistent with what we have been asking and discussing internally, so I think we should be able to turn this around in a couple weeks.
I have also attached some information about larger DoD R&D investments which may be good information for you regarding your new question 5.
VR, Richard

Hi Richard,
Hope this Friday finds you well. First off, I wanted to check on the investigation and clean-up cost information related to PFOS and PFOAthat we have previously discussed; are those available yet? And second, we have reviewed the AFFF MILSPEC and QPL (thank you for those); based on that review, we have a few follow-up questions (see attached). We are happy to take written responses to these, but if you think a quick meeting would be the best way to handle them, that will work for us, too. Next week (apart from 2/6) and the following week (apart from 2/13 afternoon and 2/14 afternoon) are pretty open on our end. Let me know what you think. And as always, thanks for your assistance with our review.
Respectfully,
Geoff
