"We believe we need to increase the construction budget; otherwise, we are just making that backlog larger and more of a problem for future years."

"We cannot realistically hope to encourage tourism to the National Parks at the same time that we are cutting the budget."

"Investing in our National Parks is something that is investing in our future as a country and very much in the economic vitality throughout the country."

"We believe that they very much need to be, in these challenging times, a high priority for funding."
