Dear Hunter, Bonnie, Sandy & Randy,
This week, I met with a senior administration official who described their proposed change to Title II/food assistance that will be included in the President's budget submission ("off-the-record").  They specifically asked for our help in building support for the proposed change - which is very similar to the suggestions that we previously offered.  I hope we can dedicate part of our call next week to discuss the nature/extent of our support - as there are certain elements that may be controversial.  Because of his deep involvement in this issue, I hope to invite Dan Glickman to join the call.  I look forward to speaking with you - and thanks again for your invaluable assistance/insights.
All the best,
Rick
