Yeah if Fortenberry can provide a quote still that would be great, obviously with shutdown in the news that may be an issue. But this won't be going out until next week.

QMG, brother, I just got back two days ago from a two-week vacation in Argentina, and am just getting caught up on emails. I was afraid you might write, LQLS My House phone was inoperative in South America, weirdly. So, no access to any gov email. In the future, always CC my personal email for non-confidential, non-security communiques like this, especially when you are not hearing from me. It is Ex. 6 If that is not allowed on your end, text me a Ex. 6 I will have a Lincoln staffer grab the email and send to me. Let me know if you still need a quote from Congressman Fortenberry. Happy to bring to him. I presume you got my personal propaganda.

Hey Jim had a Nebraska related press release come up to be sent out nationally later this week. Wanted to see if Congressman Fortenberry would like to add a quote in favor of the grant which should benefit the state in a variety of ways. I attached a draft of the press release above for you to run by the Congressman and help with drafting the quote. (Ignore the dates as this got pushed back to 2018.) Feel free to call or email back if you have any questions. Here are some sample quote from other press releases put out in the past year with Congressional members. Sierra Club v. EPA 18cv3472 NDCA Tier 13 ED 002061 00030943-00001 "These grants are great news. Clean air is not only important for public health and our quality of life in Palm Beach, but it's critical to our tourism economy as well. As a member of the bipartisan Climate Solutions Caucus, I remain committed to strengthening efforts to protect our air quality," said U.S. Representative Brian Mast (FL-18). https://www.epa.gov/newsreleases/epa-awards-paim-beach-county-florida-133135-reduce-air-poliution "These Brownfields grants are welcome news for our communities in Oxford, Kennebec, Waldo and Somerset counties and will help lay the groundwork for economic development, more jobs and continued stewardship of Maine's environment," said Congressman Poliquin. "I applaud the EPA for this important support and I will continue to push for sensible environmental policies, which are critical not only to our health and recreation, but also for job creation in our State." https://www.epa.gov/newsreleases/economically-dis3dvantaged-communities-maine-receive-ll-million-redevelopcontam mated "This grant award is a win-win for our community, as it trains unemployed and underemployed area residents for meaningful well-paying jobs that will have a lasting impact on our community by helping to improve our environment," said U.S. Rep. Al Lawson (FL-5). Florida State College at Jacksonville is well suited to perform this important work. I look forward to working them on this important project." https://www.epa.gov/newsreleases/epa-selects-florida-state-coliege-iacksonvine-fia-iob-training-grant-0 Michael Abboud U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Office of Public Affairs Ex. 6 Sierra Club v.
