To: From: Sent: Subject: Jackson, Ryan[jackson.ryan@epa.gov] Chris Hessler Thur 6/29/2017 1:13:29 AM Fwd: Request to Schedule a Meeting With You From: Michael Stafford Sent: Tuesday, June 20, 2017 12:51 PM To: Gunasekara, Mandy <Gunasekara.Mandy@epa.gov> Subject: Request to Schedule a Meeting With You Mandy: Thanks again for taking my call and working to set up a meeting with the Health Effects Institute (HEI) leadership, Dan Greenbaum (President) and Bob O'Keefe (VP). As we discussed, they can fly into DC and meet at whatever time works for your schedule on June 28th, 29th or 30th'. Your suggestion to potentially include Samantha and Brittany makes a lot of sense. Dan and Bob have previously met with Britney, during her time at EPW as well as earlier this year following her move to EPA--but I don't believe they had a detailed discussion on their research initiative in the area of unconventional oil and gas development. As you know, HEI is nationally and internationally respected for high quality and independent research. Despite the current political divide on Capitol Hill on air quality and air emissions issues, HEI's expertise and/or testimony has been called on regularly by both the Majority and Minority, including Senate EPW, House E&C and House Science. At the request of House Science Committee Chairman Lamar Smith earlier this month, Dan and Bob provided an in depth briefing to Majority Members and staff on HEI's ongoing efforts in the area of accountability research: Holding Regulations Accountable: Do Air Quality Actions Accomplish Predicted Benefits? FYI--Dan delivered the same presentation last month to Clint's AAPCA membership. It is largely due to HEI's long history and strong reputation for independent research, bipartisan support and balanced public-private funding support that has led several key industry partners to support an HEI research initiative in the area of unconventional oil and gas development. Dan and Bob can fill you in on the full background of industry support but I know industry funding partners currently include Chevon, ConocoPhillips, ExxonMobil, Shell, Halliburton, Noble, Statoil and others. We should also update you on discussions with Senate and House Appropriations folks. 17cv1906 Sierra Club v.

When you have a moment, if you can shoot your preferred time for the meeting on June 28, 29 or 30, I'll get back to you quickly to confirm.
