We were reassured not only by your understanding of the importance of the regulatory modifications we had suggested to you and President Trump, but also by your innovative ideas that could strengthen our states' agricultural communities. We would like to schedule a follow-up call with you in July to discuss progress toward regulatory reforms. In the meantime, the Coalition's point of contact is Larry Pearce, the Coalitions executive director, who has been directed to coordinate collaboration between your staff and ours. We were pleased with the positive tone of our conservation and look forward to a long and productive working relationship with you and your colleagues at ERA.
