Tate, Here is a draft quote. Could you please let us know if this works for you guys? We are open to revisions. Also, could you give us the context or the press release that you are planning? Stephen
"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 Amerocan jobs.
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?

We will hold off on food. My EA, Kim Rubin, copied here, will arrange the walk through. No problem.

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.

Ok. We will make that call later. Our folks won't starve if they have to wait until 1PM for lunch. We just don't want to be rude hosts.

Agree on the press. Fine on the 45 minute blocks. Will get back to you on 11am start. If we do that time, can/should we add a casual lunch?

I think the 45 min each might be best. Is there a chance we can bump to 11 AM instead? Also, we'd ask you keep this a private event, closed to press.

Yes, we can lock in the afternoon of August 10.
Run of show proposal (happy to edit if you guys have something else in mind)
17cv1906 Sierra Club v. EPA
ED_001523B_00001861-00004
First hour: Tour of new campus with emphasis on environmental sustainability components.
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.

Hi Stephen,
Thanks for being patient with us as we figure out the schedule. I believe we are set for the 10th, and we are planning on sometime in the morning. I wanted to loop in Tate Bennett she heads up our External Affairs and Millan Hupp who heads up our Advance and Scheduling. They will circle back with you for more details.
I appreciate your help, and happy that we found something that worked!
Best,
Maddy

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.
