"I am concerned because I think this is going to be a big fire year again in my State, and we need to have the Federal service up to par."

"It is my hope that these funds will help prevent the service from borrowing from other programs to pay for firefighting needs this year."

"I think this budget is a good first step toward meeting the needs of our national forests."

"The new administration recognizes that firefighting costs are likely to exceed the 10-year fire suppression average and has submitted a budget that reflects that reality."
