I believe that day is the only day for the conference; is it an am vs. pm matter that we could rearrange the keynote time? Or is it a full day conflict?

On behalf of Peabody Energy, they would like to extend this invitation to Secretary Zinke to be the keynote speaker and address the annual Washington Coal Club Luncheon on December 12th here in Washington, D.C. The Secretary has obviously been a strong supporter and proponent of the Administration's agenda on coal, and the companies supporting the Coal Club would be honored to have Secretary Zinke participate.
We appreciate your consideration of this request and look forward to hearing from you shortly.
Thanks, Scott
