Meeting proposal: ENERGY STAR is moving a specification on clothes washers, which we oppose. It is critical that I ensure you are aware of what is going on and hopefully stop this action until we can talk in more detail. While this is an urgent matter, it is also very important to discuss the ENERGY STAR program broadly. At a high level, we support its moving back to DOE for our products and have discussed this with the DOE beachhead team. We have CEOs and other senior executives from the entire industry meeting in DC for our Annual Meeting from April 29-May 2. It would be very helpful if we could discuss our issues with you before that. Any time from Tuesday, April 25, to Friday, April 28 would be ideal.
