Sydney--
Thank you for your follow-up. We appreciate you trying to make it work for our group and hope that our schedules will allow us to have the Administrator as a guest at one of our future meetings in DC or at our fall convention. Thank you for the invitation to reach out in the future.
For what it's worth, we have an opening in our program on the afternoon of May 2 at the Holiday Inn Capitol hotel (550 C Street SW)between l :00pm and 4:30pm. If the Administrator has an opening and would be able to join us, please let me know and we'll plan accordingly.
Thank you!

Good morning, Sydney!
I'm following up on the request for Administrator Pruitt to join our group of farm broadcasters at our upcoming Washington Watch event on Tuesday, May 2.
Has your team had the opportunity to review our request and discuss the Administrator joining us?
Thank you for any update you're able to provide.

Millan & Sydney-- Good afternoon! Ron Hays with the Radio Oklahoma Network in Oklahoma City
shared your contact information with me.
The National Association of Farm Broadcasting will hold its annual Washington Watch event next month in our nation's capital. Farm broadcasters in attendance come from a diverse geography across the US, covering a variety of issues. These broadcast joumalists connect with the nation's farmers and ranchers multiple times daily in their broadcasts and are responsible for communicating the developments of regulation and legislation with their listeners and viewers. Our group of over 35 broadcasters will be at the US Department of Agriculture in the Williamsburg Room (Room 104-A of the Whitten Building) on the morning of Tuesday, May 2, and have invited the Secretary of Agriculture nominee, along with other members of the USDA team to meet with us for remarks and a question and answer session. A request has also been shared with Interior Secretary Zinke's office. I'm reaching out to you to request Administrator Pruitt also speak during our time at USDA. The session would include approximately 5-10 minutes of speaking time from the Administrator, followed by a question and answer session with farm broadcasters.
Please let me know what additional information I can provide and if there are additional contacts at EPA we should contact to include the Administrator in our program.
Thank you for your consideration. I'll look forward to hearing from you or one of the members of your team.
