There are 3 items that I wish to discuss with you. First, a replacement for Greg Sheehan by a professional wildlife administrator. Second, the status of a request for a withdrawal of mineral leases that total some 30,000 acres just north of Yellowstone NP in Montana where a Canadian company trading as YELL Mine wants to mine gold and silver. These leases were withdrawn by Secretary Jewell for a 2 year period, and that expires November 21, 2018. Lastly, the draft ESA Regulations proposing revisions in Sections 4 and 7 of the ESA. I've prepared a critique of the draft, and there is a provision I'd like to address prior to my filing the critique before the conclusion of the public comment period. When could I come down to discuss these 3 items? Lowell Baier (Cell: 301-346-9701) Lowell E.
