We have a reception starting at 5:30pm in the Grand Ballroom Foyer and our Distinguished Service Awards dinner (honoring Concho CEO Tim Leach) at 6:30pm in the Grand Ballroom. Regarding format, our preference is 15-20 minutes of remarks with 5-10 min of Q&A. Given the 6pm timing, his remarks would be via podium mic or handheld mic in the Foyer to the reception attendees. Depending on where his 8:40pm flight is departing, would it be possible to push the Administrator's remarks to 6:30pm so we can have everyone in the Grand Ballroom and seated and we'll have him out the door by 7pm? We'll certainly make 6pm work but I wanted to see if there is any flexibility so we can have everyone in a more private setting.

Is this accurate? As you likely know, Texas has worked very closely with the EPA during the ongoing storm and aftermath. The help of the EPA has been instrumental to many of our member companies and their operations. The timing of our event and the attendance of the Administrator would be a perfect time to express our appreciation. As a reminder, we do still have some availability on our agenda during our dinner the evening of Thursday, October 19th but Friday, October 20th would be ideal.

I am forwarding the form to Neal Carlton, TXOGA's Director of Membership, and have cc'd Mari Ruckel, our VP for Government Affairs, and Kristen Fuchs. Neal will ensure the form is completed and returned today. We previously sent a letter with all the details and I suggest Neal attach with this document of yours. TXOGA is the state's oldest and largest trade association representing every facet of oil and gas including upstream, midstream and downstream. All sectors would benefit greatly from Administrator Pruitt being able to attend and are hopeful it aligns with his schedule. Our nation's largest operators will be in attendance along with smaller regional and Texas companies. It is really a good mix and is an important gathering worthy of the Administrator's time. We are needing to finalize our agenda for printing purposes. Do you think it possible we could get a decision this week? This is the largest of our annual events and really the best one to attend. Should the Administrator need a different venue, we can certainly arrange one to fit his schedule and build attendance associated with it but this one is the most prominent. Thanks for your consideration. 17cv1906 Sierra Club v.
