“it is always frustrating when different people are working with different numbers. The suggestion was made that the program costs about $22 million. I have here the Forest Service budget submission for the coming fiscal year as well as data on fiscal years 2004 and 2005. For this region's two forests, Chugach and Tongass--there is no forest, paper, or timber program in the Chugach, so we have two line items. One is forest products, $23.342 million. The other is roads, $22.325 million. That adds up to more than $45 million in their budget estimate for fiscal year 2005. If you look at fiscal year 2004, forest products is $27.379 million and roads is $21.273 million. That adds up to nearly $49 million. And if you look at the coming fiscal year, fiscal year 2006, the budget request for forest products is $21.462 million and for roads it is $17.306 million. That adds up to almost $39 million. I ask unanimous consent this list be printed in the Record. There being no objection, the material was ordered to be printed in the Record, as follows: [GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TS29JN05.001”
