Thanks for getting back to me, and if plans change please let me know. We can be fluid. If the Administrator is travelling to PR tomorrow, is it ok for us to tell our members about "Smart Sectors" and that RER will be participating? Didn't know if the change in plans meant the launch event is still moving forward. Thanks, Duane 17cv1906 Sierra Club v. EPA ED_001523B_00001803-00002 Duane J.

Following up on our earlier conversation, we really appreciate Administrators Pruitt's invitation to participate in the Smart Sectors strategy - and RER would be delighted to join the partnership. Thank you. Also as discussed, while we can't unfortunately make the 3 pm launch event @ EPA, if Administrator Pruitt's schedule could accommodate, we'd be honored to have him address our meeting briefly (15-20 minutes) at around 12:30 pm -12:45 pm. The meeting will be held just up the block from EPA, at the Newseum, @ 6th St. and Pennsylvania Ave. Our anticipated attendees, and working agenda, are attached. The attendees will include familiar names to the Administration and encompass some of the top real estate CEOs and other senior executives in the nation. If we can make it work, our Board member and Chairman of our Sustainability Committee -- Tony Malkin, the CEO of Empire State Realty Trust - would introduce the Administrator with some short opening remarks. It would then be a great opportunity for Mr. Pruitt to talk about the Smart Sectors strategy for about 15 minutes and other priorities for EPA perhaps leaving time for an audience question or two. The Oct 3 meeting is closed press. If this works out, I will also then follow 17cv1906 Sierra Club v. EPA ED_001523B_00001803-00010 up with information for any security detail.

Adm Pruitt Invite Duane, Thank you for calling me back yesterday and sorry I've taken so long to respond! Attached is some more information about the EPA Smart Sectors Program, and below is the invitation to the launch event. Let me know if The Real Estate Round Table is interested in joining the partnership and participating in the event. On behalf of U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Scott Pruitt, I would like to invite Jeff DeBoer to attend the launch of EPA's Smart Sectors Program. The event will be held at 3:00 PM on October 3, 2017, at EPA Headquarters in the William Jefferson Clinton North Building in the Green Room. Through our collaborative partnership, Smart Sectors will demonstrate measurable results for the environment and the economy by building relationships and improving customer service to your sector; developing additional expertise in your industry's operations and environmental performance; and informing the planning of future policies, regulations, and agency processes. We hope Jeff will join Administrator Pruitt for the Smart Sectors launch and ask that you RSVP to me (1etendre. daisy @ epa. gov) by September 22, 2017 if possible. If you or Tony are unable to attend, please feel free to share this invitation with another member of your association's leadership. In addition to the launch event with Administrator Pruitt, we will be 17cv1906 Sierra Club v. EPA ED_001523B_00001803-00012 publishing a Federal Register notice announcing the program. I hope to see you in October. As always, don't hesitate to reach out with any question or concerns. All best, Daisy C.
