Ali,
Right now it looks like we will settle instead on an 08:00 briefing that morning at One UN Plaza Hotel for about 45 minutes in one of their conference rooms. NASDAQ and NYSE didn’t work out – this will be much better for the group to meet you anyway. Is this OK?
Best,

Hi Ali,
Just wanted to update you that the briefing will likely take place at NASDAQ at their Times Square location instead of NYSE. Will update you again soon. Thank you again – I spoke with Matan and he was extremely thankful of your participation. The group looks forward to meeting you.

Sir,
My name is Matan and I am working for the Israel National Defense College. We are planning a tour to the US in May (attached general information regarding the College and the trip to the US). I have received your email from Mr. Myron Kandel that said you will be willing to meet this group in May. The main goal of this trip is to in light our students (who are senior leaders in Israel's National Security Agencies) with some of the main component of the US's National Security. We would kindly request that you will address the economic component. The day that we are looking for is Tuesday May 22nd. Mr. Andrew Gross from our General Counsel's office in New York (cc to this email) has suggested that we will start this day at a visit to the NYSE. Do you think it will possible for you to brief us there? If not we can also have you first thing in the morning at our Hotel (UN One).
Looking forward to hear from you.
