We appreciate the opportunity. I think I can make Monday at 4:30 work if that is not too late in the day. Monday morning at 10 might also work. I'll round up four other people and be back in touch. A discussion is what we'd like and we're not there to deliver a letter. I'm sorry though for the bad links in the letter. I'll provide those over the weekend. Al, I appreciate you providing the cell number. I hope to try you early in the afternoon after some daughter commitments are wrapped up. I would be calling from my cell: 202.368.9885.

Al was out of the office all day and probably hasn't seen this request yet. So I think it would be best to aim for Tuesday. I can meet anytime after 10 except for 3-4. Please let us know what times could work for you and let us know who will be joining you. If you want an actual discussion, I ask that you limit your group to 5 people. The interpersonal dynamics of one or two talking with twenty just doesn't work. If you just want to deliver a letter and make a statement then the size of the group doesn't matter. Also, the letter you linked to in your message has a footnote with apparent links to statements by various societies. However, there are no active links for any of them. Please, send copies of the statements or functional links to the statements. I look forward to meeting you and your colleagues. Sincerely, David David Kreutzer, Ph.D. 17cv1906 Sierra Club v.

Samantha asked me to reach out to you both and ask if you would please handle the meeting below? It is time sensitive as they are requesting a meeting next week. We are unable to do so on our end but would like for a meeting with them to still happen. Please let me know if you are able to get a meeting arranged.

We would like to discuss climate science with you and offer our help to you on this issue. We have no policy ask and respect that science is but one input of many to policymaking.
