Dear Mr. Klein,

On behalf of Greenlining Institute, we would like to offer to you and the Independent Citizens Oversight Committee our views on two issues in which we have expertise and have been highly involved that have been raised in the Lee-Halpern petition.

First, an essential issue before the Institute is diversity. The issue is of great importance, particularly since the Independent Oversight Committee is admittedly not reflective of California's diversity. This has been compounded by the failure to ensure effective diversity on the first nine hires and apparently in the recommendation of the Interim President of the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine.

Greenlining believes that all regulations should be considered in the context of ensuring full diversity. This includes making diversity a crucial element in evaluating all grants, loans, contracts and hires.

Second, Greenlining has been involved in a wide range of excessive executive compensation cases, including a recent one before the California Public Utilities Commission in the PG&E rate case. Greenlining has also criticized excessive compensation at universities, including U.C.

We believe that there is no correlation...
