To: George Woodall; Donald Burnett (E-mail) Cc: Patrick Beatty (E-mail); Patsy Clegg (E-mail) Subject: RE: Legal Consultant George and Don, I would support contacting Fitzaimmons for purposes of establishing availability and cost. It has been highlighted to me as I began poking around in my project files, that I don't have a copy of the proposed/final budget. Perhaps, we need to revisit the budget and agree to it in some fnal form. I don't recall establishing a budget for the communications team. Should the budget be posted on the web page? As I think about it, there seem to be a number of loose ends to be firmed up by the OS committee. I would like to suggest a meeting/call following the SRP meeting, when we could hear the report/findings and try to firm up some of the other outstanding items.

My understanding of the intent stated in the Consortium Agreement is that any outlay of funds needs to be done with the consent of the Oversight Committee, and did not want to proceed until I cleared this with the Chair at least. I plan on contacting Mr. Fitzsimmons to at see what his rates are and to see if his level of participation has been discussed with him. I will not proceed any further than that, however, until I have had a chance to discuss with you and Lynn Russo. Please advise. Thank you, George M.

Glenna's note below has the name and number of the lawyer the company contacts had agreed should do the job. Could you put that information into the process such that the necessary contacts/agreements can get done? Thanks.
