Nick told me that our Dearborn Truck Plant is on the list and I'd love to have Steve mention that, but don't want to get ahead of you all if that list doesn't come out before the event. Can you advise?

Duffy - Thursday 11:00AM Robyn, Please find attached a run of show for tomorrow's speaking program and a map/diagram of the layout for tomorrow's expo. At the conclusion of the roundtable, around 11:45AM, we will escort program speakers from the Secretary's suite to the side of the stage outside the building. The program will begin at 12:00PM with remarks by Secretary Duffy, followed by John Bozzella of the Auto Alliance, who will then provide introductions for each of the OEM executives prior to their remarks. The stage backdrop will be our large video screen featuring the Great American Road Trip logo which will be unveiled during the program. We are likely to have a clear podium but could just be a standup microphone -- TBD in the morning as the stage gets set. We will be livestreaming the event on both the USDOT X and YouTube channels. And we hope to finalize a confirmed media list in the morning, which we'll be sure to get your way. Our communications team is cc'd here and can share additional details when they become available. Again, thank you to you and your team for helping to make tomorrow's event a great success! Please have your team members reach out to me or Grant upon arrival tomorrow morning for the roundtable.

Duffy - Thursday 11:00AM This is great Robyn, thanks so much! We remain truly appreciative for all the effort the Ford team has undertaken to build Thursday into a great event. And we are pleased to welcome Steve to join Secretary Duffy for remarks during the program. Following the Roundtable, Steve and Chris will be led with other speakers from the conference room to the stage outside the building. I will have a formalized speaker list by COB, but our plan is for the Secretary to speak, followed by industry executives and leadership from automotive trade associations. We ask that any remarks be limited to no more than 3 -- 4 minutes. We expect the entire program to be complete by 12:30PM. This event will be open to the media. I have cc'd our Communications team to this email for connectivity and questions on those issues. Again, appreciate all of the effort to support Thursday's event and look forward to seeing you then! Please reach out with any additional questions. Best, OST-2025-1200 Page 03225 Sierra Club v.
