Good afternoon Richard and all:

I too thought that the process was helpful in getting information on the table that might not otherwise

have been considered. The final rules for all of the products have been helped by that information flow.

Thanks Richard for your hard work and enthusiasm. You have be en a positive influence on the team.

Merry Christmas to all and may 2012 bring good results for the Distribution Transformer Industry and

for each of you.

Phil

Dhiru Patel Subject: Happy Holidays

### Dear Colleagues,

Just a quick note to express my apprecia tion to each of you -- for the knowledge, professionalism, hard work and, most of all civ ility, that you all have br ought to the negotiating table over the past several months as we have wr estled with difficult issues in an effort to reach consensus. Although we did not achieve cons ensus on liquid immersed, your courtesy and professionalism throughout the process was and is a model for this town (hear that, Congress?).

I am confident that your efforts have greatly st rengthened the Department's analysis and will improve the final rule for liquid immersed. I am hopeful that we can reach final consensus on MVDT and possibly even on LV early next year.

Meanwhile, I'd like to reiterate what a pleasure it has been working with and getting to know you all. Best wishes for a safe and happy holiday season!

Warm regards,

Richard Parker
