address the issue and the proposed solution.
(b) Prepare a verbal briefing of no more than 10 minutes
that reviews the background of the issue, identifies
why it must be addressed, describes what your proposal
will do to address the issue, and gives the
amount of your budget request.
(c) Prepare one-page summary,
with 1-inch margins and 12-point
font, that provides the highlights
of your issue and proposal.
(d) Prepare more thorough frequently
asked questions (FAQ)
a document that could be used
by the department director giving
the briefing, a legislator hearing
the information.
