Pat Reilly will probably be able to make it during those time periods. I might be able to if I can get off work. We are also representatives of WVIGCCC. Keep us informed. Will and Pat Reilly

is for us to schedule a meeting in the district. Anna Rittenhouse is
available to meet with us and any other groups (MVCAC) Thursday after
3:00 or any time up until 4:00 on Friday. I am not available to be
there on Friday, but if at least Jim, Jonathan, and Duane can go, I
think that will be sufficient. The more the better, especially if you
are representing other groups, too. I could possibly go Thursday
afternoon since I have a doctor appointment that afternoon in
Morgantown. I could possibly
be free by 3:30.
Please all of you write back ASAP so I can schedule with her. I will
also be calling Mollohan's aide in Washington, David Herring.
Anna asked that we give her something that she can fax to Mollohan,
either print or by email, on Sierra Club stationary.
I am extremely busy this week, so any help you can give is appreciated.

Jim can't go July 9, and I am busy July 12 afternoon (I'm hoping to go
to the DEP meeting for WGC plant, but I also have afternoon appointments
in Morgantown that day).
I called his Washington scheduler, Jill. Mollohan will be in Washington
next week for committees, so we would have to meet with Anna Rittenhouse
in Morgantown. Is that acceptable?
I left her a message.
Karen
P.S. Barbara, are you back in Fairmont???

Exactly where is his district office, and for that matter Rayhall's
district office? I found this info for Mollohan at
http://www.house.gov/mollohan/contact.htm . What day and time would you
like to go?
