"The administration’s budget proposes to reduce the Gallery’s renovation budget by $11.8 million or 7 percent, delaying critical repairs and putting the safety of visitors and the collection at risk. Last year, Congress rejected a similar proposal and instead increased renovation funding by $2 million and the Gallery by $4.8 million overall."
"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."
"I welcome today’s distinguished elected tribal leaders and non-elected tribal leaders, all of whom play an important role in educating others on Native issues and challenges. The issues we’ll be hearing about this morning are part of the treaty and trust obligation that the United States owes to Native Americans."
