Aaron: here is the redline. I’ll get you a clean version as soon as I get it.

One note: we sent you a version on July 2 that represented our first attempt to incorporate the

interagency comments. In case you already looked at that version, we wanted to show the additional

changes we made since then in a diffe rent color. This document attempts to do that. However, Word

appears to be confused sometimes when the edit appears in both versions, so please know that we are

aware of the double

- wording and it will not show up in the clean version.

One other note: I observed today that this version does not include a citation to the new memo we

recently developed, so I will ensure that such a citation is added to the clean version I send you.

Hi Aaron. Attached is the draft memo for your review. Let me know when you want to share w ith us

your reaction to it. I trust it addresses your suggestion.

I also just want to flag for you that we have made a couple of minor edits to the preamble and rule since

the version I sent you on July 2. Very minor stuff to reflect our conversation th e week of July 6 and

other edits to polish up our responses to the interagency comments. Would you like me to send over

that version as well?

Thanks.Michael Ling

Hi Aaron. Thank for your comments. In Megan’s absence, I am forwa rding to you our suggested edits to

the preamble in response to the comments. We’d like to set up some time ASAP to go over these with

you and anyone else you think should be included. I will note that the edits address virtually all of the

comments, but there are one or two remaining comments we’d like to discuss with you when we meet,

so we can determine whether and how best to address them. Let’s talk early next week about a time to

get together and let me know in the meantime if you have any questio ns. Hope you have a wonderful

4 th

– one of my favorite times to be in DC.
