With your recent arrival in Washington, you may not be familiar with the show. For the last several years it has been the largest event held in the Walter E. Washington Convention Center and attracts a wide variety of media covering both public policy and the auto industry. In the past several high ranking government officials have used the show as a policy platform, including President Obama, Vice President Biden, the EPA Administrator, Secretary of the Department of Transportation, Secretary of the Department of Energy, Secretary of the Department of Labor and many other senior Washington officials. We would be honored to have you as the Keynote Speaker on Thursday, January 25, which is Press Day at the show. We'd recommend either a breakfast or luncheon speech, but understand that you have a very challenging schedule, and are open to any time that meets your needs on that Thursday. Should you wish to attend on consumer days, the show dates are January 26 - February 4. We can provide varying levels of access for the press depending on the needs of you and your communications team. 17cv1906 Sierra Club v. EPA ED_001523B_00003262-00003 I'd be happy to discuss this further with you or a member of your team, at your convenience. The show offers a unique opportunity to speak to senior executives of the automakers, suppliers and engineers, as well as the press, from a location that is just a few minutes from your office. My team is very familiar with the needs of cabinet level officials and I'm confident we can meet any requirements you have. The timing of the show, at the beginning of the year, I believe is an excellent time for a major policy speech. We'll contact your scheduler's office to see what next steps might be.
