Bob,

Ok. How is your schedule for Friday late afternoon, if I can get something set up. If not, give me some dates and times that work. Also, what is the status of the 114 Liberty property owners signing the release to allow DEP access/permission to clean. I would like to tell the owners that a meeting is predicated on a signed release to show their good faith efforts to expeditiously reoccupy. If they have already signed, then this is not an issue. Please advise.

I am perfectly willing to meet with the owners to articulate our "one-voice" commitment. I agree that we need to be sympathetic, but also realize the owner's responsibility to take appropriate measures to address their future. I would suggest we meet at your office and agree that a timely follow-up building tour take place with their architects. We need to strongly convey to these people that our meeting be restricted to FEMA, DEP and it's owners. As discussed, we are moving the cleanup process with an anticipated start date of March 1, and an ultimate conclusion date no later than March 31 barring no unforeseen circumstances, i.e., EPA clearance level attainment. We should talk confidentially with respect to your options from a funding perspective. Once again, as you know, I am adverse to spending any dollars needlessly or unnecessarily. This is an unique situation but one we will successfully resolve. Partner, let's set a date that is mutually acceptable ■ and conduct the meeting. If you need to talk to me, I am in my office. Regards,

Bob
