Know I don't have to tell you how difficult government agencies can be at times - logic just doesn't seem to always fit into the equation. All in all I think the meeting Sarah set up went quite well, especially the meeting with General Jackson who seemed to understand the language. I think he will help get the communication with the Savannah District people on a more constructive course. As I mentioned, the Corps people have not always been forthcoming so it's difficult to plot a course from the dark. I really appreciate your offer to help and look forward to additional contact with your office - hopefully without adding painfully to your overflowing cup of problems. Please extend my thanks and best wishes to Sarah Greenwalt and best wishes to you and yours for the balance of 2017 and beyond. LHSjr/db P. S. Saw Bill Warren and his family at the National on Thanksgiving day and he gives you high praise. Says he wants to be kept in the loop. L H Simkins, Jr Simkins Land Company 103 Macartan St. Augusta GA 30901 AUGUSTA O'A 309 2B MOO 2017 PM 7 T Ir pCL 2096S13 Honorable Scott Pruitt, Administrator environmental Protection Agency 1200 Pennsylvania Avenue Washington DC 20004-2403 l'ii"i|ii.ilil,,,d,pi,liiilllil1ilh,llilil|liillt]"ii,,Ii,i
