Today the committee will consider the President's request for the Forest Service in the fiscal year 2013 budget. The request would result in a 1-percent decrease in the overall Forest Service budget with a slight increase in the discretionary accounts. The budget has a number of high spots. For example many of us on the committee support full funding for the Collaborative Forest Landscape Restoration Program. This budget does that as well. It maintains a strong commitment to hazardous fuels reduction.It includes a modest increase in land acquisition funding for a number of high priority projects such as the broadly supported Miranda Canyon acquisition in New Mexico.
