Kathy, I'm very sorry to bother you when out of the office but is there someone I could work with next week with EEI on the event?

Ryan, I wouldn't bug you, except for something important. No doubt you guys -- including/especially Mandy -- are overwhelmed with demands on your time, but could nudge Mandy to call Michael in my office (see below) ASAP?
We are working on a project that will be helpful in addressing some of the unfounded obstacles to domestic extraction -- especially fracking.
We are just looking for a short meeting with her to explain what's going on. Hessier

Chris:
Below is my note to Mandy last Tuesday, which I followed with a nudge note on Friday. No word yet. As you know the oil and gas companies would like to weigh in on this effort but would prefer HI to first get in to brief EPA and then the companies convey their support for the public-private nature of the effort and EPA ensuring the public side of that partnership. Getting this EPA meeting is the key step and time is running out.

Mandy:
Thanks again for taking my call and working to set up a meeting with the Health Effects Institute (HEI) leadership, Dan Greenbaum (President) and Bob O'Keefe (VP). As we discussed, they can fly into DC and meet at whatever time works for your schedule on June 28th, 29th or 30th'. Your suggestion to potentially include Samantha and Brittany makes a lot of sense. Dan and Bob have previously met with Britney, during her time at EPW as well as earlier this year following her move to EPA--but I don't believe they had a detailed discussion on their research initiative in the area of unconventional oil and gas development.
As you know, HEI is nationally and internationally respected for high quality and independent research. Despite the current political divide on Capitol Hill on air quality and air emissions issues, HEI's expertise and/or testimony has been called on regularly by both the Majority and Minority, including Senate EPW, House E&C and House Science. At the request of House Science Committee Chairman Lamar Smith earlier this month, Dan and Bob provided an in depth briefing to Majority Members and staff on HEI's ongoing efforts in the area of accountability research: Holding Regulations Accountable: Do Air Quality Actions Accomplish Predicted Benefits? FYI--Dan delivered the same presentation last month to Clint's AAPCA membership.
It is largely due to HEI's long history and strong reputation for independent research, bipartisan support and balanced public-private funding support that has led several key industry partners to support an HEI research initiative in the area of unconventional oil and gas development. Dan and Bob can fill you in on the full background of industry support but I know industry funding partners currently include Chevon, ConocoPhillips, ExxonMobil, Shell, Halliburton, Noble, Statoil and others. We should also update you on discussions with Senate and House Appropriations folks.
Holler if you have any questions or need additional information at this time. When you have a moment, if you can shoot your preferred time for the meeting on June 28, 29 or 30, I'll get back to you quickly to confirm.
Thanks again and best regards,
Michael
