Senators Briefed on Meth Project's Prevention Program and Its Impact on

Meth Use in Montana

Siebel was invited to brief the panel about the impact of the Meth Project's prevention campaign in the state of Montana -- where the Meth Project implemented its first statewide program.

The Meth Project is a non-profit organization focused on significantly reducing Meth abuse in the U.S. The Montana Meth Project, Arizona Meth Project, Idaho Meth Project, and other state affiliates implement the Meth Project prevention programs in their respective states. The Meth Project is funded by the Siebel Foundation, with programs in individual states funded by public-private partnerships. Siebel called on the members of the Finance Committee to make federal funds available to expand its Meth prevention campaign to other states across the country.

"The Meth Project has been extremely effective in raising awareness about the devastating impact of this drug," said Senator Baucus.

Other states will certainly benefit from th
