[DEOC] [EXTERNAL] Re: Update on DEI Investments - Due January 3rd

Wed Jan 3 16:34:44 PST 2024

Hello Everyone.

I'm coming to this a bit late as an accident over break has left me without
the use of one arm as I await surgery. I can have the survey-looking
version of this ready to send tomorrow.

Thanks,

John
