Re: Rural Methamphetamine Education Project

Dear Chainnan Obey and Ranking Member Lewis:

I am requesting funding for the Rural Methamphetamine Education Project in fiscal year
2010. The entity to receive funding for this project is Minot State University, located at 500
University Avenue West, Minot, ND 58707. This funding would be used to further this on-going
program at Minot State University that delivers public awareness education about "meth" to
individuals, community organizations, and educational institutions. This funding would be used
to expand the project's reach by making its presentations, research and community strategies
available online. In addition, the project will continue its work in Indian Country and further
develop law enforcement analysis tools, including a testing kit that will help in analyzing
clandestine methamphetamine labs. I certify that I do not have any financial interest in this
project.
