If not, what time Wednesday works? Thanks, John From: Chris Hosford Sent: Friday, October 13, 2017 9:03 PM To: Hupp, Millan; John ODonnell Cc: Kathy Teich Subject: RE: Invitation to be Keynote Speaker of 2018 Washington DC Auto Show, MobilityTalks International Needless to say, this ROCKS! Please find out when we can announce or if his office would prefer to announce. From communications perspective we'd like to get something out ASAP and preferably from us. I can write from here, not a problem. From my POV I'd prefer to have him speak either in the morning or at lunch. While it is true there is from one perspective no news cycle any more, it would be best if we could keep this out of the mid-to-late afternoon. Not critical, but vastly preferable. Of course, my lips are sealed until you get details worked out with the Administrator's office. If you need me on the call on Monday, just say the word. 17cv1906 Sierra Club v.

He would be happy to accept and looks forward to this event! I do want to accept with one caveat - we have some pending international travel in January for which the dates have not yet been finalized. However, I think it's flexible to his schedule and so we are confident that we can work them around this. But did want to raise that, in the event it changes. We will know with certainty in the next month or so but we feel comfortable accepting. I understand that you offered either the breakfast or lunch address spot. We're happy 17cv1906 Sierra Club v. EPA ED_001523B_00001089-00003 to have a further conversation with you regarding format, timing, etc. We can either have that now if you need to nail down those details or as the event approaches. Additionally, if you could complete the attached speaking request form, this is very helpful to our team in planning. Let us know if you have any other questions and we look forward to it!

EPA ED_001523B_00001089-00004 On behalf of the 2018 Washington Auto Show, MobilityTalks International and the Washington Area New Automobile Dealers Association, I'd like to invite you to be the federal government keynote speaker at the Washington Auto Show in January. 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. 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. 17cv1906 Sierra Club v.
