I left you a voice message and want to follow up with an email. Lane and I work for Salt River Project (SRP) now and would like a chance to meet with you next week about what is going on with Navajo Generating Station (NGS). I'm not sure what briefing materials you have seen, but NGS is a coal generating plant on the Navajo Nation Reservation. It receives coal from a mine located on both the Navajo and Hopi Reservations. NGS has several owners including SRP as the operating agent and the United States (through the Bureau of Reclamation), which owns over 20%. In the last month the news has reported that the owners, including the US, are in discussion with the Navajo Nation and the Hopi Tribe about the economics of the plant and its future useful life. Several options are being discussed and a decision could be made in the following weeks. We would like to come talk to you about NGS next week while I am in town. Is that possible? We can be very flexible with time Monday through Wednesday or on Thursday February 2 our Deputy General Manager will be in town and would be able to meet.
