Hello KathyFirst let me thank you and your staff for facilitating MOU that allows the $850K toremain available until such time as we fulfill the terms of the MOU, without having to re-appropriate the funds.
As you may be aware we have been working with our bankers to reach agreement oneliminating our bonded indebtedness entirely. There is currently a proposal from thebanks that would allow us to do that. We believe it gets us to close to sustainability. Iwould like to talk with you about the details of the proposal and determine if there is away you can help us to reach agreement with the banks and at the same time fulfill the
terms of the MOU. I believe we can get there.
I am available to talk early Monday 7 AM to 8 AM or anytime after 11 AM. I am alsoavailable today, Sunday, from 9AM to 1130AM. I can also make myself available earlyTuesday morning 7AM to 9AM. The call should not take that long. We have a very shortdeadline to get back to the banks or their offer becomes void.
Again thank you for your willingness to work with us and all of the support you havegiven us over these years.

Kathy
I understand you are requesting a copy of the federalization legislation. The legislation still remains indraft, though it is out of legislative counsel now. It is being amended as a result of some jurisdictionalissues that have now been resolved. However, this will cause a significant delay in the introduction of thelegislation, which may not happen until well into the next session of congress. I won't bore you with thedetails, but this is typical of the legislative process. We had hoped to have the legislation introducedbefore congress left for recess and at one time we were told we could get it passed before the end of theyear. Of course this is very disappointing for us in terms of the timing, but we are at the mercy of thecongress and their schedule as well as addressing some concerns raised by the natural resourcescommittee, which has jurisdiction.
Ben continues to work with Tony to provide the information that he requests, however I don't think we

can count on federalization happening before the February commission meeting. Please let me know ifyou would like to discuss this in more detail. I am available throughout this month.

I think it is best that we postpone the meeting for tomorrow, Nov. 30 at 1030. Our legislation has beendelayed because of the other priorities in DC. However, I must also travel to DC for meetings on theproposed legislation. I am sorry for the short notice, but I was just informed by our representatives in DCthat they were able to schedule meetings for me this week. I will have Ben Reece phone to youreschedule and to make sure he provides you with the information that you have requested.

Thank you for the heads up on the situation. I look forward to hearing more after your meetings
in D..C.
I will confer with our staff about the timing of your request for Cultural Facilities Commission
action; however, please keep in mind that the amount of time that has lapsed since we werepromised information from the Freedom Center may make it impossible for your project to be
considered at the Commissions next quarterly meeting. It is unclear why the financialinformation requested has not been provided since it would seem that this would be unrelated tothe federal legislation, so we appreciate your help in this regard. Our ability to assist you is
dependent upon your staff providing timely, complete information.

Please let us know the status of the documentation regarding the introduction of the legislation. Ibelieve Kathy mentioned she was expecting it today. Since Gary is retired, whose attention
should I send the checklist for items to be submitted in order to be considered for the February
meeting? For example, although Ben forwarded to me a copy of the last audit I also need a year
to date financial. At some point early in the process I would like to discuss with you thepossibility of using the appropriation to reimburse for those construction costs paid for with bond
money, the same as we did with the last appropriation.
