Addressee:
MG Donald E. Jackson, Jr
Deputy Commanding General Civil & Emergency Operations (ATTN-CECW-ZA)
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
441 G Street NW
Washington, DC 20314
Greeting:
Dear Major General Jackson
Paragraph's 5 and 6 directly address the President, whom the letter was not sent to and is not in the carbon copy line. The letter closes with "Thank you, Mr. President" and NOT "Thank you MG Jackson".
Those are the etiquette issues. The fundamental issue is the intent of the company making the request to the Governor for an expedited permit. If the company planned to expedite the process from the beginning, I would have expected them to mention the use of this Executive Order when the press release announcing the approval of the 404 was made. I also would have expected they use the same order to expedite the 404, which was applied for in the Spring, well after the order was made. The fact that they announce the existence of this letter via a press release over a month after 404 approval leads me to wonder if they have encountered roadblocks in obtaining the 408 permit.
