In another recent win for the environment and public health, Congress helped to secure approximately $32.8 billion in funding for the Department of the Interior and the Environmental Protection Agency in next year's budget.
After several years of declining funding for key environmental protection, Congress this year reversed that trend by adding $2.5 billion for environmental program to the President's request. We applaud the members of Congress who worked to restore funding that the Bush Administration proposed to eliminate. By securing these funds, there will be more resources for important programs to improve land conservation and protect public health.
