Mike and I should be able to meet everyone the week after Thanksgiving if that works with you? As for the livestream, I think next month we can work towards organizing something as we begin our end-of-year agenda recap.

I've been a little out of commission with a cold these past few days so I apologize for the delayed response. Thanks for flagging these articles. I'll make sure we do some promoting with our marketing team and get some blogs together. Hopefully you already saw our press release regarding the advisory council event and directive. As far as the coalition, yes I've been doing some thinking and I have a few names for you. Chrissy Harbin at Americans for Prosperity Paul Blair & Katie McAuliffe at Americans for Tax Reform (they are doing double duty on energy&environment pending a new hire there, but they'd be good people to connect with at this time). Taylor Barkley at the Competitive Enterprise Institute Daren Bakst at the Heritage Foundation Charles Rigler at the Charles Koch Institute Phil Kerpen at American Commitment I also asked Chrissy Harbin at AFP who she would (hypothetically) think would be a good fit. She suggested someone from American Energy Alliance but I'm still waiting on a specific name, but I agree with her regarding that organization. Sierra Club v.

Really looking forward to working together on this and setting up a meeting. Also happy to host meetings if that helps. Finally, would like to also get the ball rolling on doing a livestream with Administrator Pruitt. We're very flexible on time, date, location, and topic... but it's a platform we've had tremendous success with. We can also send over questions well in advance. We're currently driving comments in support of CPP rollback, so if we can schedule something before that closes in mid-December, we can promote that comment period in conjunction and really drive up our numbers.

I wanted to flag these two stories that went up recently to see if you might be interested in sharing with some conservative folks regarding unfair media treatment over our nominees and staff: http://thehill.com/opinion/energv-environment/359847-the-medias-tactics-to-siience-science-attrumps-epa http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/no-the-toxicologist-trump-norninated-to-head-the-epa-chemic3laffice-dQes-nat-kick-puppies-and-poisan-kids/artide/264Q166 I also wanted to circle back on what you and Mike had discussed previously about a conservative group meeting here at EPA sometime in the next few weeks. Is there any update on that or who you recommend we reach out to? Best, James James Hewitt Environmental Protection Agency Press Secretary Ex. 6 Sierra Club v.
