Do you know if Mr. Pruitt is still considering the invite? I received a call from a Ms. Hupp last week requesting some details, but I have returned the call a few times, and have not been able to reach her. Unfortunately, we're running up against a deadline for selecting a speaker. Would you be able to let us know by Friday, March 17, if Mr. Pruitt is able to accept our invitation? I'm happy to provide any details to help with this decision. CEI would love to have Mr. Pruitt as our speaker. CEI and our supporters care deeply about energy and environment issues and given 17cv1906 Sierra Club v. EPA ED_001523B_00005148-00001 Mr. Pruitt's legal and intellectual background, we are looking forward to hearing more about his goals as the new EPA administrator. We believe the annual dinner would provide Mr. Pruitt a prominent platform to speak to an influential audience. I've reattached the invitation. As you may know, the CEI dinner hosts nearly 1,000 of CEI's strongest supporters, including senior level policy professionals, distinguished scholars, business executives, agency officials, members of Congress and their staff. More details about the dinner can be found here. Previous dinner speakers include Steve Forbes, Carly Fiorina, and Paul Ryan. I'm sure things are very busy right now, but if you could provide any information, we'd really appreciate it. Thank you!

EPA ED_001523B_00005148-00002 Ms. Hale, Thank you for making time to visit this morning and to make sure the attached invitation doesn't slip through the cracks of what must be a very busy week. Details of the invitation to speak are included in the attached letter which were previously shared with Ms. Samantha Dravis. We are excited about the legal discipline and intellectual rigor Mr. Pruitt will bring to the EPA and I believe that our annual dinner, host to upwards of 1,000 people, provides a powerful platform for him to speak. Please let me know if there is anything we can do to help advance the decision-making process.
