प्रिय श्रीमान् राष्ट्रपति:
ग्रामीण अमेरिकाको प्रतिनिधित्व गर्ने संस्थाको रूपमा, हामी आगामी वर्षहरूमा सबै अमेरिकीहरूले उज्ज्वल भविष्यको सामना गर्ने कुरा सुनिश्चित गर्न तपाईंको प्रशासनसँग काम गर्न तत्पर छौं। हामी ग्रामीण अमेरिकाको तर्फबाट काम गर्ने संयुक्त राज्य अमेरिकाको कृषि विभाग (USDA) को नेतृत्वमा गभर्नर पर्ड्यूको उपस्थितिको लागि पनि तत्पर छौं।
As you witnessed first-hand during the campaign, the issues facing rural America are no less significant than those facing urban parts of the country, but can more easily be overlooked because America’s small towns and rural areas make up just 15 percent of the nation’s population.
As you continue to develop the team that will assist you in leading the nation for the next four years, we respectfully request that you keep the needs of our nation’s farmers, ranchers, and residents of small communities high on the priority list for your administration. Multiple federal agencies have an impact on rural areas, and coordination among those agencies is essential to ensuring that the resources of the Federal government are efficiently and effectively used.
To help ensure a focused and coordinated effort to address the needs of rural areas, we suggest a designated senior member of the White House staff and/or an Office of Rural Policy within the Executive Office of the President to focus specifically on rural issues. Such an individual or office could become an added voice to ensure that the interests of rural Americans are addressed across the highest levels of your Administration.
Thank you for your consideration, and we look forward to working with you in the years to come.
