Eric,
Hope this finds you doing well... wanted to follow up and also inquire if you and Sec. Ross
would be able to drop by an event with the Romanian Delegation and about 30 guests on Sept
19th at 6:30 PM. Let me know and will share the details. Thanks

Hopefully you have enjoyed some time off this summer. I know Tom briefed you on the US company Circinus, LLC
yesterday (b)(4)
Also, I believe the PM of Romania is
scheduled to come over in mid-September and you may already have him scheduled to meet with Wilbur. Please let
us know what you need from our side to get this done. Thanks very much.
