"This budget proposes to cut almost $300 million from fighting forest fires and another decrease of $50 million for preventing wildfires."

"I will guarantee you my colleagues here in the United States Senate are well on their way to having that fixed."

"I do not see how the President's budget even begins to enable the Forest Service to fulfill its motto of caring for the land and serving the people."

"This budget, which goes in the opposite direction, which proposes cutting $300 million from fire suppression, is not the direction we need to go."
