Agreed.  Thanks, Hilary.

Tomorrow morning is unfortunately difficult for Hunter and me.  Would
anytime tomorrow afternoon work?

Subject: RE: Follow-up on FTA

Nell: FTA did not call. I spoke to Jayme on another matter, and he
responded with an e-mail noting that on this matter they were drafting
their response to both the Request and the further letter we sent them
on Monday.  I am continuing to try to get a sense of their timing now,
but I suspect that they won't want to give that away any more than they
have. Jayme has probably already gone too far (from FTA's perspective)
in letting me know that they are drafting their response. That could
mean a lot of different things. It could be denial, or it could be
something else. It's a regulatory process.  If it is a denial, we don't
have a regulatory avenue after that, other than full judicial review.

The most important thing right now is to do what we can to slow them
down.  I understand that there are a lot of political tracks moving to
achieve this goal so that is good. I would suggest from our perspective
that any Congressional letters/statements or other political support
should ensure that FTA takes due time to understand CAF USA's response
to their Report, and does what they pointedly did not do in the
investigation which is to fully and properly "get our perspective".  At
some point before the final decision on reconsideration, we ought to be
given the opportunity to respond to any reactions they have to our
factual and legal statements.

FYI -- Dorval misstepped in our meeting when he said that he admitted
that FTA did not reach out to us because they felt that they did not
need our perspective in the Investigation. Ultimately that could be
costly and would be exhibit A in any kind of judicial review. Shanker.

Hi Shanker,

Tomar told me that the FTA called you and that they are preparing their
response. I wanted to follow-up with you to see if you got a sense of
their timing or the outcome so that we can begin to put together our
response.

Thanks,

Nell
