Millan & Sydney-
Good afternoon! Ron Hays with the Radio Oklahoma Network in Oklahoma City shared your contact information with me.
The National Association of Fann 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 journalists 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.
