If not we can certainly move forward with confirming on the schedule also may I ask if you would provide the names of those team members and their titles and I will provide to our security/visitor's desk. Many thanks and have a great weekend. Best, Tracie On Fri, Aug 10, 2018 at 3:11 PM, Shea, Quin <QShea@eei.org> wrote: Hi Tracie. Let's lock down the 10:30-11 a.m. window on August 17. Ironically, next Friday is the only day I'm not in town between now and the end of the month; no worries, however, as a couple of my key team members will be able to succinctly cover the waterfront relative to the range of items suggested by my earlier note. Separately, I know that Jim is preparing to correspond with and/or talk to you about overall logistics for Joe's trip. Thanks again, and have a great weekend.

Good afternoon Quin: given Mr. Balash's travel schedule he would like to schedule something on next Friday, August 17th which would be the only date that he would have some available time as he will be departing for travel again on the 20th. He could meet for 30-45 minutes either from 10:30-11:00am or between 4:00-5:00pm on the 17th. Please let us know what would work for you and your team.

Could you please check with Joe regarding his availability for a short meeting in the next couple of weeks? Per our last conversation, I recognize Joe's schedule is tight and includes significant travel, so perhaps better to not let this slip too long. We are getting a lot of interest from our CEO community regarding Administration speakers that are joining us in Colorado Springs. My staff and I are in a position to provide insights to Joe, Billy and other DOI team members regarding the anticipated scope of remarks by both Administration and CEO speakers who are on EEI's program, as well as which DOI policy initiatives and specific regulatory vehicles are of most interest to this particular audience. A short meeting also would afford us the opportunity to update Joe on an ACEC-related project we are working on. Thanks again for your help in coordinating Joe's participation in EEI's board meeting. Please let me know your thoughts.

Per our conversation yesterday, attached is a preliminary draft agenda for EEI's upcoming CEO meetings. The slot in which Joe would be speaking is Wednesday afternoon, September 5. We envision remarks of about 15 minutes plus Q/A. Importantly, this two-hour window likely includes three Administration speakers, but they would be distinct segments, involving separate CEO leads and corresponding board discussion. (Under Secretary Dabbar will cover technology trends and emerging work from the National Labs, while Acting Administrator Wheeler will cover his vision and major rules affecting the electric power sector.) The EEI team is available to work with Joe, Billy and other BLM staff regarding all manner of preparations. Joe and I have discussed previously the Secretary's vision in terms of reorganizing the Department and ongoing efforts by the various DOI agencies/bureaus (and the Administration generally) to streamline the permitting and siting process for major infrastructure projects such as natural gas pipelines and transmission lines, e.g., NEPA, ESA and vegetation management reform, and removing the backlog of expired ROWs and making the renewal process more efficient generally. Given Joe's background, he also has deep familiarity with key DOI-centric issues that transcend his LMM portfolio, e.g., government and private sector relationships with the tribes. In summary, the "American Energy Dominance" theme will resonate with the EEI audience. We understand Joe maintains a pretty hectic schedule, but hope he may have some flexibility while on the ground in Colorado Springs. The Tuesday evening reception/dinner, which provides a great networking opportunity, is held at the Broadmoor's Cheyenne Mountain Lodge and is open to all attendees. Wednesday's lunch with the former Governors is a fairly traditional fixture for EEI's fall meeting, and routinely is both insightful and entertaining. Finally, depending on Joe's interests, we could arrange short meetings with various industry execs. I trust this information is helpful and provides a good platform from which to proceed. Copied on this note is Jim Owen, who heads our member relations and CEO meeting efforts, and who will be involved on the logistical front going forward. We look forward to hearing from you regarding next steps.

I trust you are well and will be able to take advantage of some quality down time this Summer! Per the attached letter from EEI President Tom Kuhn, we would like to invite Secretary Zinke to speak to our Board of Directors at the Broadmoor in Colorado Springs. It would be great if the Secretary could join our Executive Committee CEOs for a private dinner on September 4 and address the full Board the following morning. Alternatively, we certainly could accommodate the Secretary later in the day on September 5 or even the morning of September 6.
