I understand the challenges facing California's growers. The Administration's budget request of $31.91 million for the Program earmarks only $300,000 for equipment and maintenance of the State's Preventive Release Program. The fiscal year 2001 Agriculture appropriations bill provides $32.61 million for the Fruit Fly Exclusion and Detection Program. The $700,000 above the Administration's request is to be used to enhance the release program and detection trapping in California.
