In Reply To: 1120 (912) P EMAIL TRANSMISSION – 2/4/08 Information Bulletin No. MT-2008-024 To: State Management Team From: Director, External Affairs Subject: Briefing Statement Revisions DD: February 27, 2008 It is time again to review and update the Montana/Dakotas BLM Briefing Statements. These briefs are an invaluable source of public information about highly visible and sometimes controversial programs within our organization. They are used frequently by the Secretary of the Interior, congressional offices, news media, and interest groups affected by BLM programs. A table of contents showing the date of the most recent review/update is attached, as well as a copy of each briefing statement for your program area. Some suggested additions/deletions are noted in bold print. When deciding to add or delete a particular briefing statement, keep in mind that the briefing book is intended to focus only on issues that are highly visible and/or controversial, not on general programs. Review the briefing papers carefully and completely rather than just appending with the latest information. Briefing statements should be concise; they may be edited for length and clarity. Also, please make sure the correct contact person is listed. Please send a copy of your update, recommendation for deletion, or “no change” response for each statement pertaining to your area to Ann Boucher (MT912) by February 27, 2008. If you have any questions, please contact Ann at 406-896-5011.
