You all are so kind. Thank you for your hospitality and for hosting this event.

Thanks Millan. Arrangements for the Administrator's trip are coming along nicely. We look forward providing him and the Secretary an informative and educational trip as well as introducing him to some really great folks. Wanda and I know a thing or two about providing "Good ole Southern Hospitality" for our guest at Gully Branch. We also look forward to welcoming the advance team on July 6th and showing Forrest around our forest.

Thank you Troy.
Good morning Lauren. Yes, we will be seeding Forrest McMurray on our team to lead the advance for this trip. He will arrive in Atlanta the morning of July 6th with an agent from the Administrator s security team and will then travel down to Macon and Cochran.
If possible, we would very much appreciate the opportunity to visit Gully Branch Tree Farm on Thursday to prepare for the Administrator's visit.
Forrest -- please work with with Lauren, et al to coordinate the advance for this visit.

One final modification on run of schedule-I promise.
We can start 11 with a hard stop at 1:45. Does this work for the group? Sent from my iPhone On Jun 27, 2017, at 9:33 AM, Sullivan, Lauren - OSEC, Washington, DC <Lauren. Sulli van@osec.usda.gov> wrote:
I believe it works for Secretary Perdue but I will check and get back to you shortly.
Ambassador Pruitt's folks- are you all having an advance team go down? Wanted to see and if so, perhaps we could coordinate a walk through on Thursday if the Barrs are okay with that.
