The SMT agenda for Monday focuses on a discussion of the flint drinking water issue. George
will be at SMT and can be here at 8 am (before the SMT mtg) to give us a briefing prior to
SMT. Does that work for you Bob?

Great! Right now everything is up in the air and subject to change. Irn simply putting contingency
clans in place so ihat dant say something at the press conference that | can't deliver on. Pm hoping
that | don't even get tapped to answer a question but | nave fo prepare for that possibility.
Kirby and Jule are meeting with key lab staff today to put logether a plan of action that wil allow us to
process 400 samples a day 7 days a week. To out that in perspective we ran just north of 4000 lead
and copper sempies during all of FY2018.
Thank youl
