Subject: RE: ETHICS QUESTIONS - EPA Administrator' Attendance at Ford's Theatre Annual Gala -
June 3-4, 2017
Good morning Jennie,
I hope you're well!
The Ford's Theatre Society Annual Gala is a full weekend of events that takes place over two days. Guests who purchase tickets are purchasing for the entire weekend of events, and do not have the option to pay for each event "a la carte." The fair market value for one ticket for the full weekend of events is $500.
Please let me know if I can be of additional assistance. We would be delighted to welcome Administrator and Mrs. Pruitt to the event.
Best, Alicia

Hi Alicia,
I provide ethics advice to EPA Administrator Pruitt and for gift reporting purposes, would you
17cv1906 Sierra Club v. EPA
ED_001523B_00003919-00001
be able to provide a cost/person estimate for each of the events in your invitation? If there is no cost/person estimate, we will also accept a market value estimate which includes an aggregate cost of food, beverages, entertainment, and any other tangible benefits (e.g., valet parking, gift bag, tips, etc.) per person.
There is no ethics issue with the Administrator's attendance; however, as I provide ethics advice only, it will be the EPA Scheduling Office that is able to confirm his attendance (cc'd to this email).
Thanks! Jennie for EPA Ethics 202-564-3412
