Looping in • and Please do keep exploring the option. If it's doable it might beat out our lobby—definitely seems like a stronger visual. On that note, if it was possible for one of you to take Audrey on a walk-through of 290 as we figure it out, she'd appreciate it.

I think they can get chairs for press, check with GSA on their Covid protocols (capacity, etc.), provide a "step-and-repeat" (a portable background with "FBI" and their seal) to reduce glare from the windows on the Duane Street side. The concerns are the acoustics (as you know, that space is cavernous, with all hard surfaces and a high ceiling) and their lack of a podium (so we'd have to lug ours over there). Is our lobby preferable? I can call back and call off the dogs.

With apologies for adding to your full plate, Audrey asked if you could please come up with a paragraph to put at the top of tomorrow's press advisory, notifying the press of safety protocols—masks, social distancing, etc.—and asking them to please leave extra time to get into the building (which may mean we should also send out the advisory earlier than usual). I've attached our safety protocols and am cc'ing El (and M , though he's out), since I know you'll want to coordinate with them on how press screening will work. Happy of course to talk or help in any way. Thanks! EFTA00015354
