On May 2, a U.S. Department of Agriculture [3] speechwriter emailed 60 USDA staff that "the President has requested that all members of his cabinet and sub-cabinet incorporate message points on the Global War on Terror [4] into speeches, including specific examples of what each agency is doing to aid the reconstruction of Iraq [5]," reports Al Kamen. An email attachment [6] listed "examples of GWOT messages within agriculture speeches," such as, "Several topics I'd like to talk about today -- Farm Bill, trade with Japan, WTO [7], avian flu [8] ... but before I do, let me touch on a subject people always ask about ... progress in Iraq." The email said such language is "being used by [USDA] Secretary Johanns [9] and deputy secretary Conner [10] in all of their remarks," and urged recipients to "use these message points as often as possible" and report back when they do, for "a weekly account sent to the White House."
