Thanks for checking!! mh From: Fugh, Justina Sent: Tuesday, April 25, 2017 5:04 PM To: Hale, Michelle <hale.michelle@epa.gov> Subject: RE: Lunch Meeting Thanks for the additional information, Michelle, and I appreciate how everyone wants to be sure to keep the Administrator out of harm's way! I am now revising my advice. Because other people wiii be present, this iunch now feels more like a business lunch rather than a persona! friendship lunch. And the other people present work for federaiiy registered lobbyists, so now I recommend that the Administrator should pay for his meal himself, justina Justina Fugh j Senior Counsel for Ethics j Office of Senerd Counsel j US ERA j Mail Code 2311A j Room 4308 North, William Jefferson Clinton Federal Building |Washington, DC 20460 (for ground deliveries, use 20004 for the zip code) \ phone 202564-1786 |fax 202-564-1772 From: Hale, Michelle Sent: Monday, April 24, 2017 12:29 PM To: Fugh, Justina <Fugh.justina@epa.gov> Subject: RE: Lunch Meeting Justina, I checked with you last week about whether or not Jessica Garrison would be able to buy the Administrator's lunch this week - thanks for your answer below. Please see Jessica's question below concerning the other lunch participants. This will be fine, correct?

They will pick up their own tickets and there is no agenda. Just a meet and greet. But since they are interested in EPA actions wanted to be sure that didn't change anything as it relates to me.

I can see that she has worked in a couple of different places that would allow her to intersect with the Administrator, so it's dear that they have known each other for a while. She is not a federally registered lobbyist, by the way. Yes, assuming that she is using her own money (as opposed to charging her firm or a client), she may treat the Administrator to lunch, and he may accept under the "gifts based on personal friendship" exception to the usual prohibition. See 5 CFR 2635.204(b).

They are friends and have known one another since at least 2011. Thank you for your consideration.
