So as we sit here two days before the opening of the hotel we had still have not issued a certificate of occupancy. We do believe the Trump has submitted a plan a viable plan that can get them in a position for completion in the building for GSA to issue a temporary certificate of occupancy Biron Monday.

I will follow up with you all later this evening and make sure that I keep Mail #60 Page #152 Folder: GSA-2016-000483-1a_brett.banks@gsa.gov_0 you posted on all the activities over the weekend. We have been very clear with Trump that if they do not perform all of the items that we require that we will be unable to issue the TCO and we have let them know this for the past three weeks so there are no surprises on their end. Additionally, if they are able to receive the TCO I didn't want to alert you that the National Park Service has granted a permit for a protest to occur by the answer coalition on Monday.

As I had indicated to Mary GSA is the issuing body for the certificate of occupancy. Our team at NCR has been working very hard and very closely with the Trump organization over the past couple weeks as they have been somewhat Mail #72 Page #181 Folder: GSA-2016-000483-1a_brett.banks@gsa.gov_0 behind the construction schedule that they had provided to us. So as we sit here two days before the opening of the hotel we had still have not issued a certificate of occupancy. We do believe the Trump has submitted a plan a viable plan that can get them in a position for completion in the building for GSA to issue a temporary certificate of occupancy Biron Monday. There are still some remaining items outstanding and we should have greater transparency if Trump will be able to complete the requirements for us to issue the TCO. I will follow up with you all later this evening and make sure that I keep you posted on all the activities over the weekend. We have been very clear with Trump that if they do not perform all of the items that we require that we will be unable to issue the TCO and we have let them know this for the past three weeks so there are no surprises on their end. Additionally, if they are able to receive the TCO I didn't want to alert you that the National Park Service has granted a permit for a protest to occur by the answer coalition on Monday. That area where and PS has granted the permit is on the sidewalk right in front of the old post office.
