Dear Mr. Podesta,

Thank you again for participating in the Export-Import Bank's 2014 Annual Conference at the Omni Shoreham Hotel in Washington, DC.  The event will be held in the Regency Ballroom.  I will be your point of contact and would like to ensure you have everything you need in advance of the event.  Our goal is to facilitate an engaging and informative conversation.

You are confirmed to moderate "The Trade Agenda for the Second Administration" panel scheduled from 10:30-11:10 a.m. EST on Friday, April 25.  It will be a discussion with senior Administration officials regarding potential trade deals and other initiatives.

Panelists include:

Secretary Ernest Moniz, U.S. Department of Energy

Secretary Tom Vilsack, U.S. Department of Agriculture
Secretary Penny Pritzker, U.S. Department of Commerce

We request that you arrive for your panel at 10 a.m. EST.  As your schedule permits, you are invited to participate in the entire conference or sessions of your choice. Please let us know if you will stay to enjoy the rest of the conference.  Attached is a preliminary schedule of events for your review.

We would like to arrange a prep call next week to discuss the topic and potential questions. It would be great if you could designate a member of your staff to brief the communications directors of the various agencies on the themes you plan to cover.  We would like to host the call either on Monday, April 21 or Tuesday, April 22.  Please have your assistant contact me to confirm the date and time that works best for your staff.

I have also included a form for you to complete, which collects various logistical information.  Please have your assistant fill out the form and return it to me by Monday April 21, 2014.

In the meantime, if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at 202-565-3203 or [email-masked]<mailto:[email-masked]>.

Regards,
