“this amendment would add back the President's level of funding for environmental cleanup. It adds back $7.3 billion over the 6-year period. That would go specifically to EPA enforcement, to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, to science technology research for the EPA and to the Everglades program as well as the National Park Service. This is critical funding in terms of their ability to meet increased responsibilities of research and protection, and, as I say, it simply brings it back to the President's requested level.”
