I hope she conveyed my sincere congratulations to you in your job. My heart was lifted when I saw that you are back in the Dep Secs office. DOI, and Secretary Zinke are lucky to have you in the Department. So, I have two requests. One, can you and I have breakfast or lunch together in the near future? I know you are swamped, but I would love to catch up and be sure that you know in addition to Lynn, I am a resource for you. I'd actually love to have breakfast in the DOI cafeteria as I love the hash. I'll work around your schedule. Second, is a more formal request, Lynn asked me to coordinate with you and request a meeting for the two of us, and maybe one other, to come in and talk with you about the large scale work we have been doing on energy siting. I think she may have mentioned it to you. It is work that builds on the years of cooperative conservation work we all advanced during our time together. I would be wonderful to talk through this work with you. Would you be willing to do both meetings with me? If so, is there anyone on your staff I can work with to get them scheduled. Again, Congratulations.
