And what with our research and development, we are going to continue to do our work to be able to understand what we need to do to be able to resort forests and address the insect and disease outbreaks and continue our work to be able to find ways to expand current markets and develop new markets or would to be able to make use of the biomass that has to be removed from the landscapes to restore the healthy forest. We also provide an adequate level of Fire Suppression to deal with fires to suppress fires where we need to come in at the same time be able to manage them in the country. We will have over 21 air tankers in the 300 plus helicopters, over a thousand engines and the hotshot crews. The thing i need to stress, and i appreciate the support from the committee on finding a solution to pay for the cost of Fire Suppression. I appreciate the additional money that was supplied into the account, but i think that we have all seen what happens with the account and whether that will help
In terms of favorable and unfavorable opinions same thing well see here in terms of the opinions of most hispanics tend to favor the democratic party, and you would think well game over. We dont need to discuss this any further. Well, not exactly. Because weve seen how different candidates have done very well in different races, and i have given just three, three hispanic republicans that have done well in their respective states. Actually Governor Martinez and sandoval are extremely popular in their respective states, and they were both reelected in resounding victories. In terms of issues, gop is seen antiimmigrant and thats clear and certainly recent Public Discourse doesnt help in that front. And weve seen, for example, how some hispanic groups specifically Puerto Ricans in the i4 corridor in Central Florida even though they voted in 2004 for george w. Bush reelection they voted overwhelmingly for president obama in his reelection just a few years later. And thats a reflection on t
To make it easier for young people like the ymca to move through the current permit process and open the doors to hundreds of young people and organizations. So despite the good points, there are gaps in the budget request. We should work to address these so we can do more to Work Together on recreational access, Small Businesses in my state that rely on recreation in our economy are confused about some of the priorities in the budget. For example, the Forest Service is proposing to cut road maintenance and is exploring ways to close some of the major recreational routes in my state. This is were going to hear loudly from people on this. I hope we can ask a question and get some details on that. In the same budget the agency is proposing significant increases in new roads. So people are trying to understand the new roads versus maintenance. Without much of an explanation, we want to understand how we make sure that these priorities are met on both sides. I want to take a point of perso

So im almost out of water to choke back the emotion, which means i must be near the end. What were really doing today is transferring our passion for the standard u. S. Army nineman infantry squad to our own squad of nine adorable talented and exceptional grandchildren. They are kayla, mckenna, luke, alexander, hunter, finley, braden, samuel and david. Now, if you want to know what our principle goal in retirement will be . Its to be the best grand parents we can be. Now unless they think weve forgotten them, we have our own grandchildren. We have made 20 moves, most of them with the kids. They have been adaptive, resilient and willing to share their parents with a larger military family. Its been a joy watching them grow up, until recently, we had some difficulty convincing them that the mayflower wasnt a moving van. Im very happy that the j3 allowed my son kris to escape to attend the military ceremony, and meagan and katie have also served. And we have the best trio of inlaws we cou
