("LGN") is pleased to provide you with the <br />enclosed proposal for Federal Lobbying Services. Our firm has had a Washington <br />operation for over twenty years and our federal relations practice group has focused on a <br />community development client base, with a special emphasis on designated funding and <br />infrastructure investment. In that capacity, we have developed strong relationships with <br />Members of Congress and key policy makers in several Executive Branch Departments. <br />We currently represent a wide range of clients, from local transportation coalition groups <br />to public hospitals, public and private universities, social service providers, and <br />individual corporations and nonprofit organizations. No other Washington D.C. based <br />lobbying firm is as well positioned and experienced to advance an individual <br />community's federal relations objectives. Our team has decades of public and private <br />government relations experience working with the White House, the Executive Branch, <br />and Congress to further our clients' public policy priorities and interests. That experience <br />encompasses all aspects of the federal legislative and regulatory policy development <br />process. Our clients have reaped the benefits of those relationships and investments, and <br />we have been able to secure millions of dollars in designated funding for numerous <br />communities across the United States. <br />Our relationship with our clients often includes responsibility for all federal legislative <br />and regulatory issues that may affect them. In addition, we regularly submit federal <br />relations updates and draft federal public policy reports for client publications. We <br />provide regular, direct communications with Congress, and we schedule meetings with <br />federal policy makers at the direction of our clients. We encourage you to contact anyone <br />associated with any of our clients to seek an appraisal of our services. We are confident <br />you will find they see a true value in the services we provide and recognition of the <br />personalized nature of our representation. <br />Lockridge Grindal Nauen 1 <br />
