We just received an inquiry from a CBS news reporter in Dallas about the visit. We won't reply until the visit is over, at which point out plan is to share the quote we provided you for the press release. If you guys want us to handle differently, please let us know.

Hi Stephen,
I think this should work. 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 were pleased to show Administrator Pruitt our new headquarters in Plano, TX and to highlight the environmental sustainability aspects of the new facility. Toyota previously announced it will invest $10 billion over the next five years in the U. S., and the new headquarters is just one of those commitments to help grow Amerocanjobs. We appreciate the opportunity to showcase our new Plano headquarters where we will soon have 4,000 team members working in a more collaborative way in order to better serve our customers."

I thought you all did not want any press coverage? 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?

Stephen -- good afternoon. 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.

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.
Thank you.

Maddy,
I have some Toyota executives holding their calendars open for August 10 to host Administrator Pruitt. I'm not going to be able to keep the calendars held much

longer. Can we finalize the date and time? We would very much like to host him. It's less than two weeks from now, so I'll need a time to be sure we can be proper hosts! Thanks.
