HI AJ,
Sorry for the delay!! Vinyl I couldn't get the Administrator or Ryan in on due to travel but our head of policy, Samantha Dravis, said she would happily serve as a proxy. For OIPA, he will be headed for Italy beginning of June so is unavailable. So sorry!

Hi, Sydney, I'm sorry I don't have a desk phone number for you or else I would call, but I wanted to see if there was an update on these requests? Thank you very much, AJF

Sydney:
Thanks for the note yesterday. As mentioned, the Vinyl Institute is holding it's annual fly in meeting in May. A request for Ryan Jackson to speak to the group on May 17th was previously forwarded by the organization.
This request is for the Executive Committee of the Vinyl Institute to meet for 15 minutes with the Administrator the day before the fly-in, on May 16th at any point during that day the Administrator is available.
The executive committee represents four large chemical companies that produce products such as PVC. Names that would likely be in attendance would include:
Bob Buesinger, Senior Vice President-Vinyls, Westlake Chemical, Houston, TX
Grant Evans, Vice President and General Manager-Vinyls, Occidental Chemical Corporation, Dallas, TX

Dick Heinie, Senior VP/General Manager-Vinyls, Formosa Plastics, Livingston, NJ
Dick Mason, Corporate Secretary, Shintech Inc., Houston, TX
Dick Doyle, President and CEO, Vinyl Institute, Washington, DC
Rich Krock, Vice President Regulatory and Technical Affairs, Vinyl Institute, Washington, DC
JC Walker, Partner, Keller & Heckman, Washington, DC
Should you have any additional questions about this you know where to find me.
Also, when I met with the Administrator a couple of weeks ago an invitation was extended to speak to the Oklahoma Independent Petroleum Association (OIPA) Annual Conference during the weekend of June 3-4 at any time he would be available. The conference is in Las Colinas, TX (Dallas metro area.) He seemed interested, but non committal. Let me know if this is something he would be interested in doing.
Call me with any questions, Sydney. I appreciate you, A.J. Ferate
