Focus of the meetingwould be waterfowl, shorebirds and other birdlife, especially in theTeshekpuk Lake area. This meeting would follow up a conversation youhad in Alaska with Susan Culliney, policy director for Audubon’s stateoffice in Alaska. In addition to me, participants would be Nick Wiley,Chief Conservation Officer at Ducks Unlimited, and David O’Neill, ChiefConservation Officer at the National Audubon Society. I am VicePresident for Bird Conservation at Audubon and a former, long-timeAlaska resident. Please let me know if you are able to meet with us. Ialready need to be in DC on Wednesday, December 12, and I am wonderingif you have availability for 60 minutes that day?
