Dear Mr. Chairman:

 

I cordially invite you to be a guest speaker at the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) Safety Summit that I have scheduled for February 4, 2004, in Albuquerque, N.M.  The meeting will be at the Energy Training Center, Acoma Conference Room in Albuquerque.

 

Attendees at the Summit will be NNSA senior officials from Headquarters and Site Offices and senior officials from NNSA Contractors.  A draft agenda for the Safety Summit is enclosed.  The purpose of this safety meeting is to focus federal and contractor senior leadership on our commitment to conduct our mission and operations safely.

 

In the event that your schedule prevents your attendance at the Summit, I would be pleased if a Board Member would speak on your behalf.

 

If you have any questions regarding the Summit please contact me at 202-586-5555, or have your staff contact Xavier Ascanio or James Mangeno.

 

Sincerely,

 

Linton F. Brooks

Administrator

 

Enclosure
