I am copying RJ as we have been in contact by text. We look forward to hosting Scott next month. We know it would be a positive experience for him and the EPA. 17cv1906 Sierra Club v. EPA ED_001523B_00007369-00001 Trammell Crow (founder and my friend and business colleague of 30+ years) took over Earth Day Dallas six years ago. Trammell decided that the environment was an issue he wanted to put his time treasure and talent behind. He has taken it from twenty cardboard tables that had a few non-profits, Sierra Club etc, a back masseuse and crystal sellers to a serious free market business exposition and conference on the environment. It is now called Earth Day Texas, but we are talking the "Earth" out of our name next year and going to EARTHx. We live by two mottos: Conservation has no party Let green drive black to the bottomline (smart green will do this over time) Last year we had 130,000 visitors over our three day exhibition, almost 900 exhibitors and several hundred speakers. Six thousand came out on our B to B day on Friday. We take over the entire Texas State Fair for the event. Attached to this email is a brief sizzle real that gives some perspective on its size, and yes, EVERYthing is bigger in Texas. We are free market driven and work overtime to be a neutral public square for all ideas worth discussing. This year the Mitchell Foundation is working with us to put on a day and a half conference on shale production. Because of this the Sierra Club is boycotting us. We think natural gas is vital to our national security and industry. Last year Avi Garbow (then chief counsel for the EPA) came and spoke. I put him up against an author I like Ron Bailey who wrote, The End of Doom. Avi squirmed when he had to admit that a fossil fuel was in fact the #1 component of COP 21 plans for the united States. Our exhibition runs for three days and our event for five. 17cv1906 Sierra Club v. EPA ED_001523B_00007369-00002 Friday is our Business day and we have many activities My number one goal is that he could keynote a lunch at our legal Symposium. We will have 300 attorneys here for an all day program with many in house chief counsels as well, (attached) This lunch is on Friday the 21st. I would like to have him speak on co-operative federalism under the new administration. He could touch on states rights, rule of law, due process or WHATEVER he wanted. In the afternoon I would like to get him in front of various business leaders in a forum, possibly moderated by our friend Ken Starr or someone acceptable to Scott. And then host a private reception for him. He could speak at a banquet on Friday night with many business leaders attending as well, depending on his schedule and availability. We are flexible. We also plan on hosting several Lt. Governors and possible governors and ALEC is coming and bringing many state legislators. I would anticipate ten congressmen will attend. I also noticed this in the paper recently: Non-responsive Internal URL/Ex. 6 Possibly Scott would want to give the award in person to an exec from DFW. Ail details can be worked out. We need to know Scott's availability and time schedule. He can stay at the Anatole at the Reagan suite Thursday or Friday nights if needs to stay overnight. 17cv1906 Sierra Club v. EPA ED_001523B_00007369-00003 It was built by the Crows for the 84 convention. I was on that planning committee. We also could possibly host a breakfast at Crow Holding on Saturday. I understand he has been to Old Parkland in a previous trip. Please call me to discuss. Trammell sends his best wishes as well. Faith> BF I made up slogans for all departments after the Trump victory. For the EPA I wrote: The environment as desired. With enforcement as required; Nothing less- Nothing more! ttiOftgtitlif Stintati Owetopmest liBcatiws 4.2M15 tOfftcaJ ________ CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE: The contents of this email message and any attachments are intended solely for the addressee(s) and may contain confidential and/or privileged information and may be legally protected from disclosure.
