(back) Subject: EIA to release winter fuel outlook on Friday From: "John Crouch" <[email protected]> Date: Thu, 5 Oct 2000 20:47:17 -0400 Heads Up to New England & Mid Atlantic dealers especially. Here is the media advisory from the EIA. ******** MEDIA ADVISORY EIA to Release Winter Fuels Outlook WHO: Mark Mazur, Acting Administrator, Energy Information Administration (EIA), United States Department of Energy WHAT: EIA presents its Winter Fuels Outlook at a press conference as part of the Winter Fuels 2000-2001 Outlook Conference which is an annual event sponsored by the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) and the National Association of State Energy Officials (NASEO). The agenda for the Winter Fuels Conference can be found on the NASEO Website at: http://www.naseo.org/events/winterfuels/agenda.htm WHEN: Friday, October 6, 2000 9:30 AM Eastern Time WHERE: The Madison Hotel, 15th and M Streets, NW Washington, DC NOTE: Camera crews should arrive early enough to set up prior to the 8:30 am opening remarks of the Winter Fuels Conference. Winter Fuels Outlook and Short-Term Energy Outlook, October 2000 will be available at 8:30 am on the EIA Internet site at: http://www.eia.doe.gov/emeu/steo/pub/contents.html. ***end**** I wanted everyone to see the note on camera crews. Dealers should be on the lookout for calls from their local stations wanting to add a local angle. Remember, it is easy to come across as greedy in a news piece, instead try: "I'm just concerned about people running out of heat this winter." " I hope families who are worried about heat, won't try to slap together an unsafe old woodstove without checking with us first." "We'll try to help everyone we can". etc. etc. John Crouch Director of Government Relations Hearth Products Association 7840 Madison Ave, suite 185 Fair Oaks, California 95628 916.536.2390 voice 888.206.7556 Pager (U.S. only) 916.536.2392 telefax [email protected] www.hearthassoc.org
