So glad you think so. So I was hoping to use him in part to help which is the purpose for the timing. But let's simply do something by phone. I was thinking we could make introductions but so glad that's no necessary. Would there be a good time to simply set up a call? Maybe just June 20?

It then gets tougher to be there in person. Could manage July 6 or 7 or Aug 1 or Aug 2. SEK 17cv1906 Sierra Club v.

I'll know for sure by tomorrow AM. Would that work for you? Or I could do something before 3 pm on Tuesday, June 20. Of course, a phone call would be much easier, with many more opportunities.

He had bounced this and other ideas off others he has worked with for some time and others in the Administration. We would like to proceed further with the red-blue exercise. Although I do not yet have an AA for ORD, I will have a Deputy AA for ORD starting in mid-June. He will have a few initial duties, but helping start this process will be one of them. I would also like staff in ORD to help on this to get the cooperation of both political and career on this project. 17cv1906 Sierra Club v. EPA ED_001523_00002659-00003 We have determined that the best way to process your paperwork is to compensate you as an "administratively determined" position which is unique in the federal hiring process to EPA. There is no vetting other than OPM paperwork which allows us to have you on the payroll in short order. I would like to discuss with you how go about next steps when convenient. Thanks again for your help with this. We are looking forward to it. Ryan.

As promised, I attach a prospectus for a Climate Science Red-Blue Exercise. As I've watched the media since our meeting, I've become even more convinced that this would be a very good thing to do. Many of the design choices are deliberate, but perhaps their rationale isn't evident. Would be happy to discuss further - this is only a first draft. 17cv1906 Sierra Club v.
