Hi Bob, 

Can we do this meeting on Friday from 1-2 (in person)? This time works on our end and it works 

for DOE, but I see it’s not listed below. 

Regards, 

Cortney

Cortney - 

 

I've copied Kevin/Jeb/Peter as they should all be in DC on Wednesday. If they're available to do 

this in person, then "yes" to your question. If they're not available, I could travel on Wednesday for 

this meeting - just let me know your preference.

Done - I set it up as suggested. Based on Outlook, it appears we can muster "critical mass" for the 

5-6 pm timeframe.

Cortney – 

 

See dates/times below: 

 

Wednesday: 1-2 pm 

3:30 – 5:00 pm 

 

Thursday: 2:30 – 5:00 pm 

 

Friday: 10 – noon 

2 -3 pm 

4 – 5 pm 

 

I’m not available at all on Friday, but those times are available for the bulk of the EPA folks, so we 

could hold the call on Friday, I just will not be able to participate. 

 

thanx!

Unfortunately, that time doesn’t work for DOE. Can you give me availability on your end for Wed, 

Thur, and Friday, and I’ll figure something out. 

 

Thanks!

How about 4-5 on Wednesday? Otherwise, we may have to look at times on Thursday.

Cortney – 

 

Kevin and I are both out for 2 pm on Tuesday – can we try for another time on Tuesday, or 

perhaps Wednesday? I apologize but we have a meeting with Baker & Botts and a utility company 

from 2-3 pm on Tuesday. We could probably accommodate 3:30-4:30 pm on Tuesday, but 

Wednesday would likely be better. 

 

thanx!

Hi Bob, 

Are the right folks at EPA available for a conference call with DOE on Tuesday from 2-3 to talk 

about the interaction between RE and BB2, as well as new NGCC? IF not, let’s work to find a 

time on Wednesday or Thursday. 

 

Regards, 

Cortney
