Steve

As As far as what DOE is trying to accomplish, the article you recently sent
said it best: The Obama Administration has indicated it wants to require all new
coal-fired power plants to capture carbon dioxide. I've listed the specific
carbon sequestration projects with DOE funding below, as well as the fed
budget allocations to clean coal.
The Energy Department under Obama has allocated Recovery Act funds to
more than 25 projects across the country that capture and sequester
C02 emissions from industrial sources ~ such as cement plants, chemical
plants, refineries, paper mills, and manufacturing facilities - into underground
formations. Three projects are aimed at testing large-scale industrial carbon
capture and storage. The three projects are expected to capture and store a
total of 6.5 million tons of C02 per year, and increase domestic production of oil
by more than 10 million barrels of oil per year by the end of the demonstration
period in September 2015.
The projects - located in Texas, Illinois, and Louisiana -were selected as part
of a $1.4 billion effort to capture C02 from industrial sources for storage.
Here are DOE's current carbon sequestration large-scale proje.cts:

Air Products & Chemicals, Inc. (Allentown, Pa.) -Air Products is
partnering with Denbury Onshore LLC to capture and sequester 1 million
tons of C02 per year from existing steam-methane reformers in Port Arthur,
Texas, starting in November 2012. Air Products will transport the captured
gas to oil fields in eastern Texas by pipeline where it will be used for
enhanced oil recovery. The project team includes Air Products & Chemicals,
Denbury Onshore LLC, the University of Texas Bureau of Economic

Geology, and Valero Energy Corporation. This project is currently in
operation. A dedication ceremony was held May 2013.
Archer Daniels Midland Company (Decatur, Ill.)- The project will capture
and sequester 1 million tons of C02 per year from an existing ethanol plant
in Illinois, starting in August 2012. The C02 will be sequestered in the Mt.
Simon Sandstone, a well-characterized saline reservoir located about one
mile from the plant. The project team includes Archer Daniels Midland,
Schlumberger Carbon Services, and the Illinois State Geological Survey.
This project is currently under construction .
Leucadia Energy, LLC (New York, N.Y.) - Leucadia and Denbury
Onshore LLC will capture and sequester 4.5 million tons of C02 per year
from a new methanol plant in Lake Charles, La. The C02 will be delivered
via a 12-mile connector pipeline to an existing Denbury interstate
C02 pipeline and sequestered via use for enhanced oil recovery in the West
Hastings oilfield. The project team includes Leucadia Energy, Denbury,
General Electric, Halder Topsoe, Black & Veatch, Turner Industries, and
The University of Texas Bureau of Economic Geology. This project is
currently under development.
In addition to the above, the below seven projects aim to find ways to
convert captured carbon dioxide (C02) emissions from industrial sources
into useful products such as fuel, plastics, cement, and fertilizers . Funded
with $106 million from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act
-matched with $156 million in private cost-share.The selections
demonstrate the potential opportunity to use C0 2 as an inexpensive raw
material that can help reduce carbon dioxide emissions while producing
useful by-products that Americans can use. Converting captured C02 into
products such as chemicals, carbonates, plastics, fuels, building materials,
and other commodities is an important aspect of carbon capture and storage
technology. Converting C02 into other useful forms can help reduce carbon
emissions in areas where long-term storage of C02 is not practical. It is
anticipated that large volumes of C02 will be available as fossil fuel-based
power plants and other C02-emitting industries are equipped with
C02 emissions control technologies to comply with regulatory requirements.

These include:
Ramgen Power Systems (Bellevue, Wash .) - Funding will allow the
industrial-sized scale-up and testing of an existing advanced
C02 compression project with the objective of reducing time to
commercialization, technology risk, and cost. (DOE Share: $20 million)
Novomer Inc. (Ithaca, N.Y.) - Teaming with Albemarle Corporation and
the Eastman Kodak Co., Novomer will develop a process for converting

 Print

waste C02 into a number of polycarbonate products (plastics) for use in
the packaging industry. Novomer's novel catalyst technology enables
C02 to react with petrochemical epoxides to create a family of
thermoplastic polymers that are up to 50 percent by weight C02. The
project has the potential to convert C02 from an industrial waste stream
into a lasting material that can be used in the manufacture of bottles,
films, laminates, coatings on food and beverage cans, and in other wood
and metal surface applications. Novomer has secured site commitments
in Rochester, NY, Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and Orangeburg, SC where
Phase 2 work will be performed. (DOE Share: $18.417,989)
Touchstone Research Laboratory Ltd. (Triadelphia, W. Va.) - This
project will pilot-test an open-pond algae production technology that can
capture at least 60 percent of flue gas C02 from an industrial coal-fired
source to produce biofuel and other high value co-products. A novel
phase change material incorporated in Touchstone's technology will
cover the algae pond surface to regulate daily temperature, reduce
evaporation, and control the infiltration of invasive species. Lipids
extracted from harvested algae will be converted to a bio-fuel, and an
anaerobic digestion process will be developed and tested for converting
residual biomass into methane. The host site for the pilot project is Cedar
Lane Farms in Wooster, Ohio. (DOE Share: $6,239,542)
Phycal, LLC (Highland Heights, Ohio)- Phycal will complete
development of an integrated system designed to produce liquid biocrude
fuel from microalgae cultivated with captured C02. The algal biocrude can
be blended with other fuels for power generation or processed into a
variety of renewable drop-in replacement fuels such as jet fuel and
biodiesel. Phycal will design, build, and operate a COi-to-algae-tobiofuels facility at a nominal thirty acre site in Central Oahu (near
Wahiawa and Kapolei), Hawaii. Hawaii Electric Company will qualify the
biocrude for boiler use, and Tesoro will supply C02 and evaluate fuel
products. (DOE Share: $24,243,509)
Skyonic Corporation (Austin, Texas) -Skyonic Corporation will continue
the development of SkyMine® mineralization technology - a potential
replacement for existing scrubber technology. The SkyMine process
transforms C02 into solid carbonate and/or bicarbonate materials while
also removing sulfur oxides, nitrogen dioxide, mercury and other heavy
metals from flue gas streams of industrial processes. Solid carbonates
are ideal for long-term, safe aboveground storage without pipelines,
subterranean injection, or concern about C02 re-release to the
atmosphere. The project team plans to process C02-laden flue gas from
a Capital Aggregates, Ltd. cement manufacturing plant in San Antonio,
Texas. (DOE Share: $25,000,000)

Calera Corporation {Los Gatos, Calif.) - Calera Corporation is
developing a process that directly mineralizes C02 in flue gas to
carbonates that can be converted into useful construction materials. An
existing C02 absorption facility for the project is operational at Moss
Landing, Calif., for capture and mineralization. The project team will
complete the detailed design, construction, and operation of a building
material production system that at smaller scales has produced
carbonate-containing aggregates suitable as construction fill or partial
feedstock for use at cement production facilities. The building material
production system will ultimately be integrated with the absorption facility
to demonstrate viable process operation at a significant scale. (DOE
Share: $19,895,553)
DOE has selected an additional 22 projects that accelerate carbon capture
and storage research and development for industrial sources. Funded with
more than $575 million from the Recovery Act, these R&D projects
complement the industrial demonstration projects already being funded
through the Recovery Act. I've attached a table outlining these projects.
The below table explains the DOE "clean coal" budget. As you can see, the
Obama Administration slashed the DOE coal research budget for FY2014 by
25 percent, but nearly doubled investments in carbon capture. $112 million is
budgeted to carbon capture and $61 million is going to carbon storage. His
budget also includes a new $25 million prize for the first natural gas combined
cycle power plant to integrate carbon capture and storage.

Subject: COAL

The following is Ivie's suggested insert into Baker's coal draft letter
(which I only have in hard copy, but will bring a copy).

Montana has been part of a pioneering effort in this country to
experiment with carbon capture and sequestration (CCS), as well as
carbon capture and utilization (CCU) technologies. In fact, of the seven
regional carbon sequestration partnerships in the U.S., Montana plays a
role in two of them-the Big Sky Carbon Sequestration Partnership and
the Plains C02 Reduction Partnership, located in Toole County and
Belle Creek, respectively. The Montana State University Energy
Research Institute, which interacts with both partnerships, as well as
ZERT (Zero Emissions Research and Technology), is housing publically
and privately funded projects that are advancing the way we envision
clean coal development in Montana and the country.

This research includes producing biofilm, in which microbes make
certain rocks less porous to escaping gases, and using microorganisms in
the coal stream, which eat coal and instead excrete methane. It also
involves investigating methods to capture and store carbon
underground-both geologically and terrestrially. There are over 700
square miles in Toole County alone that can safely and permanently
store and monitor up to 1 million tons of C02 emissions in the Kevin
Dome. MSU is also home to the Basalt Pilot Injection Test tal<lng place
in the State of Washington, in which large quantities of C02 are being
stored underground in continental flood basalts.

More than $65 million has been invested in these projects, funded from
federal, state and private entities since 2004, (private - $4.94 million;
MSU - $1.5; DOE - $59.3 l; State - $157,000).

The Plains C02 Reduction Partnership (PCOR) is bringing together
industry, government, and communities to conduct the Bell Creek
Integrated EOR and C02 Storage Project in Wyoming and Montana.
The C02 will be piped 232-miles from the Lost Cabin natural gasprocessing facility in Wyoming, permanently storing over 1 million tons
of anthropogenic C02 per year. Ultimately, this project will produce
approximately 35 million additional barrels of oil from the Bell Creek
field in Montana.

Carbon sequestration not only provides a possible solution to C02
emissions, but can increase oil production as well. This is exactly what
private companies like Denbury and Magellan are doing in Montanan
now-using C02 enhanced oil recovery methods (EOR) to extract oil,
and employing hundreds of Montanans in the process.

In the way ofbiofuels, Montana's students and faculty at MSU-Northem
in Havre are working to make our fuel cleaner and more efficient. The
Bioenergy Research Facility and its partners play an important role in
realizing the vision of harvesting clean energy from rural America to
fuel our nation's economy, including trying to develop bio-jet fuel from
waste streams of ethanol and wood products, developing fuel additives
to support wide use of biodiesel in extreme weather, to studying the
changes of emissions from different biofuels. Their engine exhaust
emission monitoring uses highly sophisticated emission equipment
allows for real-time measurements of 32 different exhaust gases.
They've worked with private companies, such as Boeing, on a process
for creating jet fuels using biofuels (seed oils), as well as worked with
Montana seed crop producers to commercially produce biofuels. Their
state-of-the-art labs preform comprehensive studies on biofuels, from the
seed to fuel processing, fuel testing, engine testing and real time
emissions monitoring.

From clean coal research and development to biofuel testing and
produ9tion, Montana has folks across the state working to make our
traditional fossil fuels cleaner and more efficient.

The meeting tomorrow will be just the two Bishops. Most Rev George Leo Thomas,

The purpose of the meeting is more of an introduction than any specific issue. Bishop
Warfel has not met Governor Bullock. This is a time to open doors and start a
conversation.

I have expressed to the Bishops many times how important the relationships with the

Governor's office is to our public policy efforts. I have told them how much I value the
relationship that you and I have as well as the relationship that I was able to forge with
Kevin O'Brian.

I think it will be very low key with no agenda.

God bless his heart.

Had hoped to touch base in our meeting today on this paragraph.

When any student graduates, the first thing they need is a job. The technology sector is rapidly expanding, and tech
jobs are some of the most promising for our newly-minted grads. But last spring, only 40 students graduated with
Computer Science degrees from Montana State University (MSU), University of Montana (UM) and Montana Tech
combined. I helped start CodeMontana so that young Montanans can hold their own with the best in the countryand the world - in the burgeoning technology field. So far, over a thousand high school students have received
programming training through CodeMontana free of charge, and computer science enrollment has already increased.

Dear Friends, Constituents and Supporters:
You may have read in the newspapers that Governor BuJlock has met with a bipartisan
group of legislators to discuss the drafting of a bill to expand Medicaid coverage, which
the 2013 Legislature failed to do. Sen. Debby Barrett (no relation) has written a column
claiming that these discussions are illegal and unconstitutional. Should you be interested,
you can read my comment on Barrett's column by clicking here.

I think you are correct, and I wasn't thinking what all next week presents. We would hope that next
week is all about early childhood ed.,.even if it's nit, the significance of our efforts here would be
undercut.

Governor and Conunissioner,
Hope the weekend was a good one for you both.
Wanted to follow up on Thursdays project and just relay how fun it was to be a part of the roll out.
Thank you.
Clayton, I offer my help to you and all at OCHE in the drafting of the letter (with Governor, OCHE
and Superintendent logo and signature)and also getting them into envelopes and mailed.
Additionally, I have each of my Main Street visits planned to each Reservation over the next month.
Might be a great opportunity to meet with teachers and admin there to get folks ready to offer courses
next fall.
Finally, Early Edge will be an exciting focus this week. Let's get our STEM conversation out the next
week.
So fun and exciting!

another note (or even better, making the
changes you'd like to see in the document

everything, but I'm sure missed a few
things. In addition to providing general
comments throughout the document, I'm
hoping that you can all pay particular
attention to the following:

1. Measurable Goals page 7 - Allyson is
gathering some P20 data, but this still
needs additional attention.
2. Current state initiatives page 8 - This is
the longest section and where we will need
to cut some text. If you have ideas of what
to cut, by all means do.
3. Resources & Incentives page 18 -This is
not yet written, because I don't have any
information about what needs to go here.
It would be very helpful If someone else
could take a stab at writing this section. I
can combine If there are multiple attempts
made.
4. Budget page 18 -This is using the
format provided by NGA. This needs a
good look.
5. Attachment A - These charts need to be
filled in. If you have ideas (or idea

Subject: Quality Educator Loan Forgiveness

Good morning Clay,
I wanted to contact you about the upcoming loan forgiveness payments to the teachers that OCHE
will be making this month. The legislature appropriated $738,000 for this program for FY 2014,
which during the 2013 session was estimated to be enough to fund payments to 246 educators. As
you probably know, OPI and MGSLP work together to review the applications for loan repayment
assistance; OPI verifies that educators are teaching in both a critical shortage area and an impacted
school and MGSLP verifies that the educator has an outstanding balance on a federal education loan.
OPI recently provided a file to MGSLP indicating that 304 of the applicants are eligible for loan
repayment assistance. Presumably, the funding is insufficient to fund all of the eligible applicants
given the previous estimate that the appropriation would fund 246 applicants.
I understand that OCHE is preparing to make payments to only 197 of the eligible applicants. I fear
that the program is being underfunded due to an agreement was reached with the Schweitzer
administration some time ago that only 100 new applicants would be funded each year. I believe
that agreement was arrived at in order to make sure that the total number of payments did not
exceed 400 in any given year and that the state did not exceed the appropriation. Unfortunately,
that agreement is now limiting the payments to educators to fewer than 200 in total each year.
I urge you to use the full $738,000 that was appropriated for loan repayment assistance to serve
Montana K-12 educators rather than using only a portion for loan repayment and using the rest for
other scholarship programs. I am happy to talk with you about my concerns.
Madalyn
P.S. Here is the link to the Critical Quality Educator Shortages report that was approved by the Boa rd
of Public Education in December 2013. The history of the payments and appropriations since 2010

Governor
I mentioned last night that the Galt or 71 Ranch had acquired a strip ofland to prevent public access to state lands and provide outfitted hunting
inslead. The aerial photo below shows the location of new cabins constructed on the state lands without any approval by the department. The
ownership map along side shows the abandoned rail road bed that the 71 Ranch LP purchased to prevent access to the bottom land to the north. The
cabins are used by the outfitter during hunting season. A year ago DNRC gave the outfitter and the ranch one year to remove the new structures.
This has not been done.
I would point out that you can clearly see a road that accesses the property from the highway. lfthc slate owned legal access across the strip at this
location we could open up the section to the public for hunting, fishing and other recreational activities. Without this legal access the public is
locked out and the 71 Ranch will continue to use it for a for profit hunting opponunity as well as their lease uses for ag and grazing.
If your interested in a more in depth briefing I can gel staff to prepare for a meeting. At a minimum I wanted to let you know we will pursue the
outfitter to have the improvements in trespass removed. You might be getting a phone call from the Galt family as a result.

Sorry, just checked gmail for first time this week. I guess no concerns about just planning, but I would
for building unless (and maybe even with) part of a larger package of community-based treatment
supports. I'd ask for specifics about where it was authorized by the legislature. Seems VERY unlikely
to me. We will get beat up for this. It doesn't mean it isn't needed, but we keep contributing to the
need by inadequately investing in community-based treatment. The advocates are pains in the a#s, but
right.

Hi Ali1sure appreciated you going over what might be discussed Friday. I think I have a better
understanding now of what the ask might look like and what the conversation is expected to be about.
I have attached the dual enrollment public awareness campaign information from Kevin. I will
check today on the funding piece for this from OCHE today. In each of my visits to the reservations
I have spoken with the Tribal College Presidents and others about this effort.

As I mentioned folks are VERY excited about dual enrollment, but the issue of common course
numbering and transferability has come up, so consider that effort as you may.
As far as STEM there was one other idea I wanted to run by you. Based on an Iowa model...funding
k-12 STEM initiatives based on competitive grants. I have this sorted out on my desk computer and
wonder if this might not be an effort worth considering for Friday's visit. (Will pull this group
together again soon as there are some fun things moving.)
In thinking about the PLA piece, this too could be a part of the conversation you are leading around
Veterans suppo11.
I have a couple of presentations in Missoula, but will be back later today if you need help with any of
these pieces. Also, I guess I'd like to revisit the idea of "packaging" ( I have a list) a few things for
Indian Country and MSMP with you before I get too far along and spend more time and thought on it.

I've included my memo (sent to you and Cmmr. Christian). In that meeting we discussed raising
awareness with the decision makers over the next six mos and then ramping up public awareness
around 1/1 5, in anticipation of class registration for 2015-16 school year.

DUAL ENROLLMENT PUBLIC AWARENESS CAMPAIGN
BACKGROUND: For students and families who use it, dual enrollment is an incredibly popular and
successful program in Montana - allowing high school students to earn college credit while
simultaneously earning their high school credit. The program saves Montana students thousands of
dollars, raises the likelihood of degree completion and contributes to their long term educational and
career success. The problem is that not nearly enough students (and school districts) are participating
in this proven program.
FACTS:
o
COST: The average cost- including tuition and fees-for a three credit course at Montana's
colleges and universities averages between $600 - $900. The Montana University System waives fees
for dual enrollment and costs only $150 for three credits.
o
SUCCESS: Dual enrollment students have lower remediation rates, higher degree completion
rates and greater overall student success.
D
USAGE: When made available and students and their families understand the importance,
students use the program and see huge advantages. At Anaconda High School, the average student
enrolled in dual enrollment is graduating with 20 hours of credit.

o
TRANSFERABILIY: College credit earned by a high school student has near universal
transferability- just like any other credits earned in the Montana University System.

a
TYPE OF STUDENT: Dual enrollment is designed not only for the high-achieving "AP"
students, but to a much larger universe of students - including, and especially, those who see the cost
of college as a barrier to their success.

PROBLEMS:
o
There is a lack of understanding and knowledge of dual enrollment programs - and the incredible
upsides they present - by students and their families.
o
Some school districts - including SD2, Montana's largest district in Billings - have yet to make
dual enrollment a priority, which can also be attributed to the lack of knowledge.

WHAT WE HAVE DONE:
In May, Gov. Bullock, LG McLean and Commissioner Christian announced a new incentive pilot
program to help expand dual enrollment opportunities for high school students. The new program
contains two key aspects:
o
Starting in the fall of 2014, any Montana teacher who teaches a concurrent dual enrollment class
with at least four students receiving dual credit, will receive a credit-for-credit coupon that can be
used towards classes for themselves at any Montana university, college or Tribal college.

 Page 3of4

Print

This credit coupon that teachers receive will be transferable to students, friends, or family
members, so that teachers who do not need additional education can help open doors of opportunity
for others.
o

A PUBLIC AWARENESS CAMPAIGN:

Having addressed the incentive issue for teachers and continuing to work with school districts, the
largest barrier to address is the lack of public awareness of the program. We would like to design a
paid and

What is the goal? To have more students understand the advantages to dual enrollment and sign
up for dual enrollment classes for the 2015-2016 school year (registration would be in Spring
Semester of2015).
o

Who are our targets? We want to communicate with and educate 14-18 year olds and their
parents.
o

o
What resources do we have? The Commissioner of Higher Education has some budgetary
resources he can make available and there may be private funds, as well.

IDEAS?·

Big check presentations to high school students showing them how much they're blowing by not
doing dual enrollment.

A conference call with MSU, Monsanto and key industry leaders both within the state
and nationally concluded at 7:30 am.
USDA was not on the call. They were neither invited nor volunteered to attend. (Don't
read anything into this.)
Key points:
1) Everyone is waiting to see the results of USDA testing of the nearby field owned by
a hobbyist threshing club. Best guess is results will be available Friday. If the results are
negative (meaning no Roundup Ready wheat) that is the best outcome and this will likely
be a non-issue. If the results are positive this could, in the words of one national
executive, "be bigger than Oregon."
2) The next action step is MSU and Monsanto are developing more detailed and
thorough history of everything that happened on plots where the original research was

 Page 2of6

conducted and where the Roundup Resistant volunteer wheat was discovered. The aim is
to have this information ready
another conference call with the same group at 3 pm
today.

for

The media/economic implications of this are very clear to everyone. I have
confidence that everyone understands their communications role.
3)

The anxiety of the national and state industry leaders is palpable. They asked
questions the most pointed of questions.
4)

Glenn Duff will be calling President Cruzado this morning to give her a more complete
update, but I believe these are the most important points.
I don't see any action for either of you to take in the next 4 hours. However, I would like
to know where you will be and what your availability will be from now through the end
of business Monday. If this pops, we need to be able to reach each other as soon as
possible.
My best guess is we have a 50/50 chance the day will pass uneventfully. No prediction
for tomorrow at this point.
I will· be around and within quick cell phone reach through the weekend.

Tracy

Thank you for the briefing points as we all get up to speed on this issue. I
wanted to share with you all my thoughts on referring media calls to USDA. I
have no wish to turn this into any more of a media event that it needs to be,
but I feel strongly it's our responsibility as spokesmen for the MT ag
industry
to be honest and open in our communication with the media if we are asked to
comment. I think it's important we all become well versed on the facts,
refrain
from speculation and refer media to other experts when we don't have verified
information, but we also don't want to delegate the role of MT grain industry
spokesman to USDA.

Quoting "Ellig, Tracy" <teJlig@montana.edu<mai lto:tellig(g)montana.edu>>

Hi everyone,

Thank you so much for taking the time to visit this afternoon. Your
input and guidance is greatly appreciated. Here is the MSU briefing
on the issue for your background and use. Please feel free to call if
you have any questions. The briefing is attached but also as text
below. -- Thanks, Tracy Ellig, executive director, MSU
Communications. (My eel number and Glenn's eel number are below.)
Aug. 12, 2014:
To: Wheat Constituents
From: Montana State University

The following is a summary of the situation involving the discovery
of Roundup Ready wheat on MSU's Southern Agricultural Research
Station in July. This summary is meant to guide your conversations
with constituents and other interested parties who may contact you.
It is not meant to be used as a press release or for widespread
distribution. At this time, MSU is cooperating with the USDA and
following its lead on the possible release of this information to the
public and the media We would ask that you do the same. Should a
member of the media contact you about this issue, we advise that you
simply refer them to the USDA. Feel free to call 2417 either Glenn
Duff, MSU Dean of the College of Agriculture, 406or Tracy
Ellig, MSU Communications, 406if you have questions.

Key point: There is no indication that Roundup Ready wheat has
entered the marketplace as seed, feed, or food based on a huge volume
of testing done of U.S. wheat. As USDA reported last summer, there is
no evidence that GE wheat is in commerce or any of the states where
field tests were conducted. Furthermore, ongoing testing of wheat
leaving PNW ports that was initiated by major importers of U.S. wheat

 Page 5of6

Print

last July has found no GE wheat in commerce. Following the incident
in Oregon in 2013 there has been a testing program in place for past
year with no positives detected. No wheat from MSU is going into
commerce from its wheat harvest this year.

Summary:
Between 2000 and 2003, Montana State University conducted testing on
glyphosate-resistant wheat, commonly referred to as Roundup Ready
wheat or genetically engineered (GE) wheat, at the Southern
·
Agricultural Research Center, SARC, near Huntley, Montana. The
research was being done on Monsanto-provided seed and under research
compliance requirements set by the USDA.

The research between 2000 and 2003 met all the compliance
requirements set by the USDA. The research involved herbicide
resistance and had no connection to MSU's wheat breeding program. The
research was discontinued in 2003 and the research area has been
monitored continuously since then.

In July 2014, personnel at the SARC discovered volunteer wheat plants
in two small areas that had survived repeated glyphosate
applications, indicating the plants had Roundup Ready resistance. No
previous problem with volunteer wheat had been observed.

MSU and Monsanto promptly self-reported the existence of the plants
to the USDA in keeping with the compliance requirements from the
2000-2003 research. MSU is cooperating fully with the USDA, which
conducted extensive sampling of wheat on the SARC and confirmed the
ex.istence of glyphosate-resistant wheat in two small areas. No other
glyphosate-resistant wheat was discovered.

No wheat harvested in SARC research plots in 2014 has left the
facility in compliance with USDA controls to ensure that none of the
SARC's wheat will enter the market.

Monsanto has tested the source of the wheat planted at the SARC this

 Page 6 of6

Print
year and a sample of the grain harvested from 2013 - no indication of
GE wheat was detected in either.

Additionally, wheat MSU is using in its breeding programs this year
and from 2013 is devoid of any GE contamination.

The USDA is treating this as a compliance matter associated with a
regulated field trial that was closed.

MSU believes this to be an isolated incident associated with this
research from 2000 to 2003 and that the issue is contained within the
SARC and that no GE wheat has left the facility.

There is no connection between the discovery of the GE volunteer
wheat plants on the SARC and the discovery of GE wheat in Oregon last
year.

There is no indication that Roundup Ready wheat has entered the
marketplace as seed, feed, or food based on a huge volume of testing
done of U.S. wheat. As USDA reported last summer, there is no
evidence that GE wheat is in commerce or any of the states where
field tests were conducted. Furthermore, ongoing testing of wheat
leaving PNW ports that was initiated by major importers of U.S. wheat

issue seems contained to rogue plants on the test plot only.

2) You aware MT dept of Ag sending I fairly in dept list of question to MSU. We will certainly
comply if you want but not sure we want USDA and MTDA both investigating. Rather get the
USDA report and provide it to you. Thoughts?
I haven't seen the list. I think the problem is mtda feels like it doesn't have much info, and concern
about just saying 'the Feds are taking care of it, if something arises. I'm soon into glacier and will lose

Thanks for the visit yesterday. Glad we can move on the first part of STEM.
Want to make sure we are staying connected and that I am aware of your expectations.... thoughts,
concerns. Lot's of great things going on....don't want to miss a beat.
Do you want to try and catch up for breakfast or coffee this weekend or soon. (thinking outside the
box on how we can move forward making sure we are in sync knowing how busy you are).
Tell Cam we cheered hard for him on the field last night. Fun stuff and what a game!

Governor,
How was your dinner with Eric and Denise and folks? It was nice having you join us at the end of my
lunch. Great folks!
Wanted to forward this as a reminder to the discussion today. All still in works. Visited w each Tribal
College and about it at every Ed venue.
Another opportunity when Tyler is ready on the percentage of growth.
Wondering though if this same type of ad campaign works for the CAP. The biennium before you
became Gov tuition was raised 5/5. So we could tout savings of x dollars to each MT family by you.
Thoughts? (folks get the freeze)

You mentioned today "taking credit" for their work. I want you to feel comfortable knowing I spent
fifteen years at the dual enrollment table and had a hand in shaping everything around it, including the
Class 8. So, as much as Early Edge belongs to you, this does too.:).
Have some articles I'll send your way this weekend. Does that work OR do you want a reading packet
for China?

Enjoy Fort Benton!
Angela

Subject: Re: Dual Enrollment push

I've included my memo (sent to you and Cmmr. Christian). In that meeting we discussed
raising awareness with the decision makers over the next six mos and then ramping up
public awareness around l/15, in anticipation of class registration for 2015-16 school
year.
DUAL ENROLLMENT PUBLIC AWARENESS CAMPAIGN

BACKGROUND: For students and families who use it, dual enrollment is an incredibly
popular and successful program in Montana - allowing high school students to earn
college credit while simultaneously earning their high school credit. The program saves
Montana students thousands of dollars, raises the likelihood of degree completion and
contributes to their long term educational and career success. The problem is that not
nearly enough students (and school districts) are participating in this proven program.

FACTS:

• COST: The average cost - including tuition and fees - for a three credit
course at Montana's colleges and universities averages between $600 - $900. The
Montana University System waives fees for dual enrollment and costs only $150
for three credits.
SUCCESS: Dual enrollment students have lower remediation rates, higher
degree completion rates and greater overall student success.
o

o
USAGE: When made available and students and their families understand the
importance, students use the program and see huge advantages. At Anaconda
High School, the average student enrolled in dual emollment is graduating with
20 hours of credit.

• TRANSFERABILIY: College credit earned by a high school student has near
universal transferability-just like any other credits earned in the Montana
University System.
TYPE OF STUDENT: Dual enrollment is designed not only for the highachieving "AP" students, but to a much larger universe of students - including,
and especially, those who see the cost of college as a barrier to their success.
o

PROBLEMS:

 Page 3of4

Print

" There is a lack of understanding and knowledge of dual enrollment programs
- and the incredible upsides they present - by students and their families.
" Some school districts - including SD2, Montana's largest district in Billings
- have yet to make dual enrollment a priority, which can also be attributed to the
lack of knowledge.

WHAT WE HAVE DONE:

In May, Gov. Bullock, LG McLean and Commissioner Christian announced a new
incentive pilot program to help expand dual enrollment opportunities for high school
students. The new program contains two key aspects:
Starting in the fall of 2014, any Montana teacher who teaches a concurrent
dual enrollment class with at least four students receiving dual credit, will receive
a credit-for-credit coupon that can be used towards classes for themselves at any
Montana university, college or Tribal college.
o

o
This credit coupon that teachers receive will be transferable to students,
friends, or family members, so that teachers who do not need additional education
can help open doors of opportunity for others.

A PUBLIC AWARENESS CAMPAIGN:

Having addressed the incentive issue for teachers and continuing to work with school
districts, the largest barrier to address is the lack of public awareness of the program. We
would like to design a paid and

• What is the goal? To have more students understand the advantages to dual
enrollment and sign up for dual enrollment classes for the 2015-2016 school year
(registration would be in Spring Semester of2015).
Who are our targets? We want to communicate with and educate 14-18 year
olds and their parents.
o

o
What resources do we have? The Commissioner of Higher Education has
some budgetary resources he can make available and there may be private funds,
as well.

President and Commissioner,

Attached is a message to the Regents for your consideration.

I'd recommend we not send this letter to them until after the USDA has made its announcement. We
will be watching closely to see if the USDA sticks to its 11 am plan.

Let me know your thoughts. There is nothing in the attached letter to Regents that I wouldn't share
with the media if pressed - I just don't want it shared before the USDA makes its announcement.

The Montana Department of Agriculture is fully in the loop regarding the USDA's schedule and
planned messaging. MSU's new VP of Ag has been briefed.

Working with the interim dean of the College of Ag, the head of MAES and the director of Extension,
we have a very thorough communications plan ready to roll out to constituents after the USDA
announcement. I'm not planning on making any press releases, though I'll be at my phone all day
ready to field media calls.

Thanks.

Governor,
Below are the three points that were illustrated in a follow-up letter you sent to Bill Hansen after your
visit. I have attached the letter (in draft form) for your reference. Notice the three topics:
1. General Post Secondary Education Student Success
2. Expanding JMG to all American Indian majority high schools and, when appropriate, the Tribal
Colleges
3. Increasing Success/Completion for Native American students in post-secondary education.
Good luck! I look forward to getting to work on this!
Shannon

From our perspective, please know that:
1. We would welcome the opportunity to become one of the "State Engagement" states to improve
the outcomes of our higher education system. We would be pleased to work with your team in the
design and execution of new policy and programmatic activities to continue to improve the outcomes
of the state's public higher education system. As we highlighted, Montana has undertaken a number
of major improvements, including:
• Establishing, for the first time, incentives for our higher education system to meet new completion
metrics.
• Establishing one of the most extensive dual enrollment strategies we believe exists anywhere in
the country.
• Making progress in increasing the results of our pre-college remediation programs using the
EdReady program in math, and our plans for the implementation of a similar approach around
remedial c01rununications skills based on that success.
Expanding Jobs for Montana's Graduates to all of the Native American majority high schools and
to the Tribal Colleges. No doubt, you could tell our great enthusiasm for the remarkable success of
Jobs for Montana's Graduates across 55 of our schools and, in particular, its proven success with
Native American populations. That success is why we are so motivated to implement JMG in all 25
schools that have majority Native American students. Using the discussions our team had with Ken
and Vicki as a guide, the Office of Public Instruction, my staff, and that of Commissioner Bucy will
develop the enhanced JMO model focused on (a) ensuring the successful transition into higher
education and, importantly, (b) the success of the Native American students once they enter higher
education, whether it is Tribal College or one of our public two- or four-year institutions.
We are all intrigued with the idea of establishing a separate program specifically in the seven Tribal

2.

 Print

Page 2 of2

Colleges to help already enrolled but high-risk students receive remediation and meet completion
requirements in a timely and effective manner, using the proven value of the JAG Model.
3. Finally, and imp011antly, all of us are focused on how to improve the outcomes in higher
education of our Native American population. I commend you and your team for looking at strategies
that can do this on a reasonable scale, which can later be replicated elsewhere around the country for
Indian populations. Montana would like to be the demonstration state for the design and testing of
new strategies, working with Vicki, JAG, and our team here, including Jobs for Montana's Graduates.
We are open to helping develop and test techniques, support systems, and relevant policy changes that
can lead to substantial, sustainable, and cost-effective ways to boost the success rates of our lowestperforming segment of the population in higher education.
Please pass along to your Board of Directors our enthusiasm for the USA Funds mission and your
leadership. Regardless of the outcome of our discussions here in Montana, the Completion with a
Purpose goals and objectives are urgently needed in higher education and USA Funds is particularly
well positioned to lead in this area.
Thanks again, Bill. I would be pleased to talk with you further about this if it might be helpful.
Sincerely,
STEVE BULLOCK

Was thinking how we could best partner w Tester re: Eastern MT priorities as well. Are there
opportunities to leverage the conversation around public safety, retention and infrastructure? (perhaps
a joint "tour" here as well).
Also, is there a way we could work with him on leveraging the need based aid piece around his
degrees not debt conversation?
Also was thinking it might be good to consider how we elevate our Veterans initiative and mental
health pieces with him.
Not certain of how these would look but it seems that in addition to Indian Country these are some
areas where partnering to leverage the conversation makes sense.
Let me know if/how I can help with anything. Phone calls, etc.
