On the recordNovember 5, 2003
The Rural Utilities Service, through its talented staff of engineers, operations specialists can play an important role in ensuring that emergency responders can communicate in rural and remote areas. The Burns-Clinton provision in this appropriations bill would not increase or decrease spending, but would give the administrator of the RUS the flexibility to use funding from several sources within the agency to give emergency communications projects in rural areas the high priority they deserve. It also gives the RUS Administrator a source of loan funds which compliment the grant funds available for emergency communications systems in the Community Facilities program.
