"This is the administration’s fourth budget, and just like the previous requests, it would be a disaster for our nation’s forests if enacted. This budget proposes to reduce non-fire activities by $202 million. It eliminates key programs, undervalues the importance of state and private forestry work, and cuts the scientific research that keeps our forests healthy. And we know that healthy forests are vital to clean watersheds, breathable air, and mitigating climate change."
"Dr. Hayden, it’s always a treat for Members to learn more about the Library of Congress’s mission and its impact -- not just here in Washington, D.C. but in their districts."

"Turning to the administration’s FY 2021 request, the Department proposes roughly $89 billion in total budgetary resources, which is $2 billion or 2.3 percent more than the FY 2020 enacted level. However, the request for discretionary budget authority is $21.9 billion, which is $2.9 billion or 12 percent below last year—a strange move for a president who has posed as a champion of infrastructure."
