Hi Charles, Happy Tuesday! I received your email from James and wanted to reach out on an issue folks in Oklahoma have brought to our attention. Have you all had an opportunity to review funding (now frozen) from DOI, specifically regarding disaster related funding. Oklahoma suffered through a wildfire and a few tornados last year and received disaster aid from NPS (and FEMA) but recently got word that those funds have been impacted by the funding freeze. Any insight you have into the path forward for the disaster aid funding would be greatly appreciated! Happy to chat over the phone if it's helpful. -Ashley Cell: .(p)(6)) s Ashley Higgins Energy Policy Advisor Senator James Lankford (R-OK) 731 Hart Senate Office Building b 6 Sierra Club v.
