Thanks, Bill From: Lee Wicker Sent: Tuesday, February 26, 2008 1:36 PM To: Giles, Charlene - Carlson, William - ETA Cc: Stan Eury; Lee Wicker; Ken White Subject: Hello Charlene, As I indicated to you during our brief conversation last week i, and at least one of my colleagues, would like to ?y to Chicago as soon as possible to discuss the pending reorganization of the PLO Unit. It is imperitlve that we have this meeting before the transition takes place. I disclosed to you that I had heard from Leon Sequera's assistant whlle was in DC in late January that Atlanta's FLC processing unit was closing shop and that all applications would be adjudicated in the Chicago of?ce. My Board of Directors is extremely nervous about this change as I have haVe reported to them the problems and challenges we have encountered with your staff In Chicago in the past, especially, Chris Gonzalez. I hope that Ms. GonsaIez has overcome her punitive bias towards me, Stan Eury. and the rest of our team. I am not asking for any special consideration. I am asking that we not be surprised with any new requirements that are not based on statutory or regulatory requirements. We do not like to be quarreisorne even thoUQh we are exceptional at it. So, in the spirit of cooperation we want to talk to you. Shoe. and the rest of your team who will process NCGA appiications. have been instructed to reach out through you to try and establish a positive and effective line of communication in an effort to preclude any problems that may arise from this reorganization. Based on my experience last week With your clerical staff, 1 have a lot of work to do. I look forward to hearing from you soon about setting a time and date for this very imortant meeting. Thanks.
