These seem pretty straight forward and very technical, so I am thinking it might be best to generate written responses, send to GAO, and offer a conference call to discuss. I have also attached the OSD material regarding SERDP investments that has already been shared, FYSA. Can we have draft responses for our internal review by next Friday, 10 Feb?

I was trying to coordinate with OSD and the US00004863 components to ensure we are at least providing you consistent level information, although I know it is not identical. We just finished this up the other day, so attached is our data as we discussed. I hope this meets your needs/intention. Regarding your additional AFFF/MILSPEC questions, I will share with our team and begin getting written responses. Your questions are consistent with what we have been asking and discussing internally, so I think we should be able to turn this around in a couple weeks. I have also attached some information about larger DoD R&D investments which may be good information for you regarding your new question 5. VR, Richard ......Original Message......

First off, I wanted to check on the investigation and clean-up cost information related to PFOS and PFOAthat we have previously discussed; are those available yet? And second, we have reviewed the AFFF MILSPEC and QPL (thank you for those); based on that review, we have a few follow-up questions (see attached). We are happy to take written responses to these, but if you think a quick meeting would be the best way to handle them, that will work for us, too. Next week (apart from 2/6) and the following week (apart from 2/13 afternoon and 2/14 afternoon) are pretty open on our end. Let me know what you think. And as always, thanks for your assistance with our review. Respectfully, Geoff Geoffrey G.
