Guys-

Talked to our contact in New York State yesterday.  He will unfortunately be
leading a delegation to China and Taiwan and will be out of the country the
week Ormazabal will be in the States.  He said he could try and arrange
meetings for them that week, but he’s not confident that we will get the
reception and attention we want if he is out of the office.  He’ll be back
in the office on Monday the 19th and if Ormazabal is able to extend their
visit through the 19th he could arrange a better visit for them.  He said he
would hope that besides himself, he could arrange meetings with the Lt.
Governor and the CEO of NYPA their schedules permitting.  He said that we
should make the initial contacts at GE but he might be able to help if we
have problems.  In an ideal world, perhaps we could arrange something with
GE on that Friday and then they will already be in New York for the weekend
and ready to meet on Monday.

The one caveat Sam gave me was that the level of meetings would depend on
our job creation numbers.  That’s the metric they look at in determining if
it is worth officials’ time to meet.  We may get further questions on these
numbers.

Not sure what their notional schedule would be like but it may make sense to
have Ormazabal go to Oregon first (pending Iberdrola’s availability) then
come to the east coast and spend Wednesday in DC, Thursday in DE and Friday
in NY to see GE (since they are upstate) then stay the weekend and do
meetings in NYC on Monday.

Thoughts?

Best,

Eric
