Dear Administrator Pruitt,
Congratulations on your confirmation by the Senate to be the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency. We believe your considerable experience addressing complex environmental issues will be a real asset to the agency and the nation.
The Fertilizer Institute (TFI) invites you to deliver the keynote address at our World Fertilizer Conference on September 18 and 19, 2017 in Washington, DC at the Marriott Marquis hotel. We anticipate more than 700 attendees at this event, with a significant number coming from nations around the world. The group would welcome the opportunity to learn how you plan to take the agency in a new direction to address the complexities of the federal environmental regulatory system.
TFI represents fertilizer manufacturers, transporters, wholesaler, brokers and retailers, all of whom are impacted by the policies, programs and regulations of the agency, s members provide nutrients that are responsible for nearly half of a crop's yield, helping to ensure a stable and reliable food supply. The fertilizer industry supports nearly 500,000 American jobs and has an economic impact of over $150 billion annually.
We would be delighted if you were able to join us in September. Please let me know what additional information you may need regarding this upcoming event. I may be reached at cjahn@tfi.org or (202) 962-0490. Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
The Fertilizer Institute 425 Third Street, S.W, Suite 950 Washington, DC 20024 (202) 962-0490 www.tfi.org
