Hi Sydney and Monica, a few of Katie's earlier meetings were moved up and she is free for the rest of the day. If it worked for the Secretary's schedule for us to come earlier, we certainly could. Otherwise, we will plan to be there at 4:30. Thank you. Mike Smythers OST-2025-1200 Page 03298 Sierra Club v.

Are you the point of contact when we show up to the building today, do I need to have a phone number for you to give security? Thanks!

Hey Pete, Just wanted to let you know the current open windows for BNSF CEO Katie Farmer to meet with Secretary Duffy on March 6, if he is available. Katie is wide open from 3:30-5:30 p.m. on March 6 but could move things around earlier in the day if needed to accommodate the Secretary's schedule. The earliest she could meet is 11:30 as she comes in from Fort Worth that morning. Thanks for running the traps!

Best, Andy From: Andy Keiser Sent: Wednesday, January 29, 2025 5:32 PM To: Charles.Meachum@dot.gov Subject: BNSF CEO Request Pete, Good evening. Congratulations to your team on the strong bipartisan vote for Secretary Duffy. It is well deserved. Our client BNSF CEO Katie Farmer would like to call and congratulate Secretary Duffy as soon as is convenient to him. What is the best way to make that connection? Additionally, Katie would like to make a formal meeting request with Secretary Duffy when she is in DC on March 6 or March 17/18. Please let us know if Secretary Duffy has availability during those days. Thank you so much for the kind consideration.
