Chairman Fox would appreciate an opportunity to meet with the Secretary again that morning to follow up on matters he raised in remarks to the Secretary at the Vice President's Indian Energy Roundtable last month. Might the Secretary have time to set aside on the morning of November 19th to follow up with Chairman Fox?
Thanks.
