The Honorable Chris Wright Secretary, U.S. Department of Energy 1000 Independence Ave., SW Washington, DC 20585
Dear Secretary Wright:
I'm reaching out to express my interest to meet with you and your team to discuss how we might work together over the next couple years to implement President Trump's Executive Orders on Coal and Energy and his desire to see West Virginia contribute more towards our countries' national and energy security.
If your schedule permits, I would also like to feature you at our Annual Membership Meeting scheduled for August 7, 8 and 9th at America's Resort -- The Greenbrier in White Sulphur Sprngs, West Virginia.
Our organization represents upwards of 90% of West Virginia's thermal and metallurgical coal producing companies and is the number one coal export state in the country.
We are interested in developing a direct line of communications with you and your office as we move forward under your leadership on all the different programs designed to boost coal.
Please let us know if there are certain days or dates to schedule our visit.
Sincerely,
Chris Hamilton President & CEO
