The morning session will involve discussions about how to work better together and avoid the personal attacks and controversy that occurred last year regarding the Endangered Species Act. After lunch at approximately 1:00 we’ll have visits from key Senate staff to discuss the various bills and goals of the Senate on the ESA this year. Of course, our Senate and House staff friends are welcome to come to the whole meeting. It is critical that we at least understand the concerns of our own allies about the ESA proposals this year. It is also important to understand the various Congressional game plans. Thursday those of us who arrive early enough will meet at the Best Western lobby at 6:30 to go out to each together. Friday, January 20th offers a chance for us to get together to thrash out our concerns, discuss differences, and prepare as much as possible for the ESA issue in the Senate this year. The meeting will be fore 10:00 AM until 5:00 PM Friday, January 20th. The location will be the Best Western Pentagon at 2480 S. Glebe Rd, Arlington Virginia 22206. It is important that you confirm as soon as possible if you can come. We will be keeping a list of those who confirmed at the door. Only those on the list will be allowed in. Please write “I’m coming to the ESA meeting” in the subject line. Please tell us if you are not coming by writing “No, I’m not coming to the ESA meeting.” The hotel is right at exit 7 on I-395. A very quick cab ride from Capitol Hill. Reminder—Do not forward this e-mail to anyone. Neither this meeting or anything about it should be discussed outside the group. These rules were set up a long time ago by the group back in the early 90’s. Thanks.
