On the recordJune 19, 2013

Let me restate again, I recognize there's two different programs. There is one program that was created in 2008 that nongovernmental programs can participate in. There's not capacity within the Forest Legacy Program, Mr. Chairman, to add nongovernmental programs in. It is specifically designed for partnering with States to preserve forest lands that are threatened by development. And just as a reminder, over the last 3 years, USDA's only been able to fund roughly a quarter of those funding requests at this point, and by extending this would not serve a purpose. I continue to reserve the balance of my time.
