Also, will the Administrator and traveling entourage need for us to hold hotel rooms for 11/30 at the location of the meeting or will he/they stay off-site? Let me know if you have time to discuss today or early next week. Thanks much! Kevin 17cv1906 Sierra Club v.

We were wondering what your thoughts might be on having your office invite newly appointed Region 7 EPA Administrator Jim Gulliford to attend the meeting on Friday to hear Administrator Pruitt's remarks? Perhaps we could use Mr. Gulliford as the "place holder" on the schedule so as not to draw attention to the gap in the agenda? Please let me know your thoughts. Also, is your team 100% committed or are we still in the 50/50 range of this happening? Just curious! Thanks, KC 17cv1906 Sierra Club v. EPA ED_001523B_00003676-00004
