U.S. House Subcommittee Restores Funding for Recreation and Trails May 4, 2006 Washington, D.C. The Interior Subcommittee of the House Appropriations Committee today approved legislation that provides the Forest Service with funding for FY 2007. As a part of the overall Forest Service appropriations, the Subcommittee approved $262 million for Recreation Programs, $11 million more that requested by the Administration. For trails programs and maintenance, the Subcommittee appropriated $73.4 million, $13 million more than was in the President’s budget request. ARRA members have been very active in lobbying for more federal funds for these worthy programs and your comments to your Members of Congress have paid off. This measure now goes to the full House Appropriations Committee for approval and then to the entire House of Representatives. The U.S. Senate will need to take similar action before this measure becomes law. Congratulations to all those ARRA members who took the time to contact their Representatives and Senators on these important programs. Progress is being made, but we will need to do more work in the coming weeks to ensure success. Please keep in touch with the ARRA website for more breaking news! |
