as the Senate works to boost our ailing economy, I want to clarify that funding provided to the National Park Service for trail projects would not be limited to only certain trails. The bill provides $158 million for the operation of the National Park System, of which $23 million is recommended in the report for deferred maintenance of trails. I understand this funding could be used for any trails in the National Park System, including the eight National Scenic Trails. Is that correct?
