I believe Red Team Blue Team addresses that topic. Thanks for the update.

Hello Tate,
I hope you had a good holiday! As far as attendees, we'll have:
Peter Goettler, CEO David Boaz, Executive VP Patrick Michaels, Director, Center for the Study of Science Peter Van Doren, Editor, Regulation Terence Kealey, Senior Visiting Fellow, Center for the Study of Science Christopher Preble, VP for defense and foreign policy studies Andrew Grossman, legal Adjunct Scholar Michael Cannon, director of health policy studies John Samples, director, Center for Constitutional Studies Khristine Brookes, VP of Communications
Will it still be the Administrator, Liz Bowman, Lincoln Ferguson, Stephen Gordon and yourself representing EPA?
We're prepared to speak to the topics below--I believe the only topic our team raised interest in that's not on the list was the endangerment finding, which I understand mightn't be a fruitful topic.
Best,
Joe

Sure, we can work that into his schedule. Please let us know where he should go for the meeting. Our advance team will likely come the day before just to see the space so please let me know if you are the POC to arrange that as well.
Thank you and we look forward to it!

Hi Hayley,
Our CEO can do the timeframe, but would prefer to have the meeting here as he has other obligations thereafter at Cato. Could we possibly convince you to join us here?
Thank you,

Hi Joe,
Not a problem. I was confused myself for a second! We'd be happy to get another date on the calendar. Let's do Dec 5 morning if that still works. We'd be happy to host you at the EPA headquarters. Would 10:30-11 AM work for your group?
Let us know if that works and I can send directions and additional info. Thanks!

I'm so sorry--I spoke with Tate and I think we've clarified exactly what I've gotten wrong here and we're going to see if another date may be available. Our CEO is out of DC through December--he'll be available December 1, 4, 5 (before 3), 11, and 14. Would any of these possibly work for your team?
Thank you, and apologies again,

Joe,
I apologize, but Tate and I just connected and could we actually do Tuesday at 3PM at Cato? Please let me know if that works for you and where we should go.
Tate is going to respond on attendees.
Thank you!!

Joe,
Would 4:30PM on Wednesday afternoon work? I will let Tate comment on attendees as I'm not sure what she was thinking. Also, did you two discuss the Administrator coming to Cato?

Hello Hayley,
Wednesday works for our team here at Cato--do you wish to keep it to just Cato folks, or would you like for us to reach out to some of our collaborators and friends at other think tanks?
Hope you've had a lovely weekend,

I manage the Center for the Study of Science here at the Cato Institute; my colleague David Boaz told me there was an interest from the Administrator to visit, but details had not yet been ironed out. I was hoping I could offer my assistance. Are there particular dates and times that work best for your team?
Best,
