I talked with Scott Tholan and he immediately understood your concerns. I
don't think there is anything else you need to do right now. Let me know,
though, if there are requests for information you consider inappropriate.

Steve: As discussed, I spoke with Clay and raised the points we discussed.
Thus, I'm a bit surprised to receive this "cover" type memo. To be clear
with you, as I was with Clay (he repeated back my message verbatim so I feel
he understood the issue), the issue is not maintaining excellent
relationships, rather the issue is inappropriate requests for insider
information. By the way, the Administration meeting which set off the
problem, Clay stated he doesn't remember where that information came from. I
have followed up with DOE and the Hill as discussed. Please let me know if
we need to do anything further. thanks.

Dear Cynthia:

Just wanted to follow up with you from our conversation this morning. Our
office completely understands that maintaining excellent relations with your
government contacts is the highest priority. We therefore understand the
need to cease inquiries on current issues. We would never suggest taking any
actions that could even be construed as improper, and we are continuously
ensuring that our own work adheres to this principle.

We regret any difficulties that have arisen as a result of your making
inquiries on our behalf. We will ensure that similar problems do not arise
in any future cooperative efforts between our offices.

Thanks again for your assistance.

Best regards,

Clay Seigle
