RE: Use of Director Mueller Quote Wednesday, December 22, 2010 6:12:48 PM Sarah, Thanks for the opportunity to review the quote the Commission would like to use in its report. We’ve considered the quote in the context of the full interview and would like to recommend the edits reflected below. We believe both edits more accurately reflect the Director’s statements during the interview. I’m heading out for the holiday, but I’ve copied Stephen Kelly and James Koukios here. They will both be available tomorrow in the event you have any questions.
