Devon/Hunter
Steve Lakis President of the State Legislative Leaders Foundation (SLLF)
has a meeting scheduled for July 21 with Ms. Muller at the State
Department. This is the second meeting with the State Dept. The reason for
this series of meetings is for SLLF to outline its reason for wanting to
open an office in Beijing and to have the office opening mentioned as a
line item in a document that is being prepared for discussion between China
and the US during President Xi upcoming September visit to the US.
Henry has been working with the Chinese Governments counterparts in Beijing
as well.

Henry is very keen on open ring SLLF offices in Beijing and he has been
funding the endeavor to date over there. Opening an NGO in Beijing is
tedious and takes time, so having this intative mentioned in the official
document that Xi and Obama sign would be a huge boost  to Henry's effort in
China. This office would be a great business driver for Burnham/Harvest.

Eric Schwerin has been instrumental in getting these meetings at State
arranged for the SLLF team. Henry had asked me to reach out to Hunters
office and ask for help with this matter when I was last in Beijing with
Steve Lakis and his Board as Henry's guest.

Henry applied for a US visa on the 13th of July he had his interview. This
is a renewal process so hopefully his visa renewal went through without a
hitch. Henry is flying to Boston right after our meeting with him in
Beijing on the 22nd of July. I am due to have dinner with Henry on the 24th
in Boston. Hunter is of course invited to that dinner if he wishes to join
us. Henry will be in Boston for the weekend of he 24th so if all goes well
at our meeting with Henry on the 22nd in Beijing perhaps we will have a
follow up meeting here during that weekend.
I would be happy to go over this on a call at 11 this morning or anytime
after that today, but in the meantime I wrote this email up so Hunter has
this background on how we are helping Henry out as we drive him towards a
deal with Burnham!

Please let me know if you want to have a call. Perhaps it is better to
have a call from HB to Henry after our meeting on the 22nd. Either way I
would be happy to reach out to Todd and get a call set up for HB and Henry

Hope this is clear sorry or the long winded email just that I have been
working Henry hard and wanted you guys to have the backstory. Did not fill
you all in as we went along because  I did not want to waste anyone's time.
It Is more important that Burnham focus on getting together the information
Henry needs to make a decision on the JV matter.

Thanks
Jimmy
