I want to work with you to reopen this mill and others like it in New Mexico.
Thank you Chairman Murkowski, Ranking Member Udall, and members of this subcommittee for the opportunity to relay our needs to you.
While ACS supports the President's request, we urge the subcommittee to find additional resources to boost S&T spending at EPA.
We urge the Congress to support the FIA program and request funding for the program in fiscal year 2017 of at least $83 million.
I sincerely hope you and your subcommittee will consider our request to provide funding of the ABPP Battlefield Land Acquisition Grants Program at its authorized level of $10 million.
TCF supports full funding of the President's budget request of $900 million in fiscal year 2017 for the Land and Water Conservation Fund.
The major programs under your jurisdiction that we count on year in and year out are the entire suite of Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) programs.
Investments in conservation and outdoor recreation make sound economic sense.
