I was going to reach out to you today. I presumed this path forward was ok by you but wanted to confirm. Will let you know if On Mar 2, 2018, at 9:52 AM, Walker, Mitt <MWalker@alfafarmers.org> wrote: Tate, Hope you are having a great Friday! I wanted to check in with you regarding the visit we had scheduled at your Headquarters on March 14. I was contacted yesterday by my colleague, Kevin Kuhle, with Iowa Farm Bureau yesterday about joining several farm bureaus to hear from Administrator Pruitt. That correspondence is below. Since that engagement is being set for the same time that we were scheduled to be at EPA, we would simply join that group rather than move forward with the visit we previously scheduled with you at headquarters. Just wanted to make sure we were all on the same page. Thanks, and please give me a shout if we need to discuss further at Ex. 6 If for some reason the Administrator is not able to speak to the group of farm bureaus as indicated below, we would like to stick with our original plan to meet with some of the staff at your office. Thanks again for all of your help!!

On the phone, they specifically asked that the visit be closed to outside press (internal FB publications would be fine to cover the event). Jack, if you can work with Holiday Inn to confirm we have adequate seating in the room that would be great. Let me know if you need help coordinating and if there will be additional costs associated with setting up the room. Looking forward to this opportunity for all of our farmer members.
