Janet and I have talked briefly about this and would appreciate seeing a draft of the speech. Neither ofus are sure whether there is a Vogtle. already and, If so, whether it is public information. If it ispublic, I would think we would want to include it.

Scott --

bS Anything your shop wants us to be aware of as we craft.speech to the Building Trades union on

Monday?

I understand we have a new!! with Vogtle and ongoing agreements with them at Savannah Riverand Oak Ridge. I know we i a lot of Davis Bacon work for the weatherization program, although Idon't think we need to mention it in the speech.

What else?

Maybe there's nothing, but I just wanted to check in with you.

I advised Ken Cestari that I will draft a_ before I go on vacation for his review but

myway call with DOL ASAP

to understand what they are saying re the "Vogle" deal (I always thought it was Georgia Power).

Jean has a meeting out of the building 2-4:30. What is your availability before then? And anyone elseyou think should be on another call with DOL.

I don't believe that we can because the Part I application was submitted on or before September 29,2008 and the Part II was submitted on or before December 19, 2008. But it shouldn't matter -

Second thought -- call and/or email me when you're available. I'm in a little late tomorrow -- got to goget my first bee sting allergy shots and they have to be taken somewhere there's a crash cart. SoundsLOVELY.

This needs to move "" could we get together and talk it through at about 4 this afternoon? The libraryconference room is taken, so I suggest the large table in the main part of the library.

(Tom "" I know you need to leave at about 4:30, but if you could give us at least your initial thoughts,I 'd appreciate it .)

My goal is to get this to Susan tonight. I'll also copy both Mary Egger and Gena Cadleux on that email"" Mary is out and Gena is acting.
