Hi Caitlin, attached is the Senate Questionnaire (SQ) for Mr. Barrs to fill out. We do not schedule a staff meeting until after we receive this SQ. My advice is not to wait for the OGE paperwork to be approved/finished before completing this SQ but to get this SQ back to us as quickly as possible. We are happy to answer any questions he may have about the information being requested. Thank you,
Sean.

Hello.
I hope this e-mail finds you well. I just wanted to offer FMCSA's support in any way we can for the nomination process for the FMCSA Administrator Derek Barrs and also check if you have a general sense of potential timing.
Thanks so much,
Caitlin
