Nowe do not havean updatefor her on the Deloitte audit. I ampresumingthat you verbally led her tounderstandthat this is beingworked on. Chris and Patrickand I are trying to makethis happen, but it isnot easy. Today I asked Sen. Gerstein to actuallywork through senior contacts at Deloitteandwith Sen.LeBreton. I want herto understand, through verbal conversation (because I amfrustratedthat shecontinues to quote a paragraphthat you will havetold her at the time is not the deal-we are not makingany representationthat expenses writ large are fully in order) that the outcome we are pushingfor isforDeloitteto report publiclythat IF Kanata were the primary residencethen the amount owingwould bethe$90 thousand figure andthat since Sen. Duffy has committed to repaythis amount then Deloitte's work indetermining primaryresidence is no longer needed. Thisapproach has notchanged, but I do not knowwhether you passed italong toher.If they have anexpectation inexcess of this, thenthey shouldset itaside. The nubof what I saidto Mike isthat his expenses would haveto be repaid, so his choicewasbetween havin,gthat plus a ftndingthat they were inappropriate or that without sucha finding. That is whatwe areworking towards. Despite pre-clearingthatwith the relevant Senators, I amno longer 100%surewe can deliver, but if we can't then we and Mikehave a bigger problem.2. The useof the media lineabout issues having beenaddressed depends onthe resolutionto #1.3. As to her timing, shecan setwhatever deadlines she wants, but none has beenagreedto byus. Sen.Duffywould makethis easier if he did not haveoutbursts inSenatecaucus that makeSenators opposeanything that helps himsaveface for expense claims that they see as inappropriateand as puttingtheirown reputations in harm's way. We are working onthis matter. We are doingso with moredispatchthanSen. Duffyshowed inbringingthis to a resolution. I do notgather fromthe tone of her email that sheunderstands any of this, and it might help if she did.It's not your fault Ben, but I amgettingfrustrated bythis, particularly because it is not my role inthis office to bemicromanaging files.From:Wright, NigelSent:Friday, March01,201301:10 PMEasternStandardTimeTo: Perrin, Benjamin; Novak, Ray; Rogers, Patrick; Woodcock, ChrisSubject: RE: Urgent: SenatorDuffyHowever, I think it isfair between usto saythat we hadexpected this aspectto havebeen resolvedalready.
