<p class="MsoNormal">I think we should go with the FATIC Economist if availability/schedule works for them. Comping a registration fee is much better than a full meal deal for a speaker, especially if there is any concern with getting sponsorship money this
year. <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">By the way – we neglected to discuss an economist. There was no consensus in our last email discussion. Ted Jones, who will be retiring, is probably a good choice, albeit
very familiar to everyone. But, no fee involved.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

we have a volunteer who can do that? I suspect most involve a fee. Since the economy is on everyone’s mind, I think this topic is important and timely. It might be worth paying for this. I’d say $1,000-$2,000 but we should discuss. (I think Matthew Gardener
is more than that by a lot.)</span><o:p></o:p></p>
