TALKING POINTS

Amy Edmonds (Communications Director for Wyoming Governor Mark Gordon) advises that Governor Gordon will be participating in a scheduled 1300 press briefing in Cheyenne.  She notes that members of the news media may raise questions regarding the ongoing oil spill incident in Platte County.  To ensure the Governor is prepared, Ms. Edmonds requests a set of concise talking points that reflect approved, unified messaging from federal and state partners currently engaged in the response.  She emphasizes that the talking points should follow risk-communication principles - clear, calm, action‑focused - and should avoid overly technical terminology.  This is a Drill!
