budget plan proposes to cut $61 billion
more than the levels proposed by the
President in his 2012 budget. HR1 would
slash current appropriations for LWCF
by more than 80 percent while completely wiping out funding for the State Assistance program.
If the goals of the AGO are to be
achieved, full funding for LWCF and other
initiatives of the report will be essential.
Assistant DOI Secretary Shafroth agrees
that it will be a challenge under the current economic conditions: " While the report envisions that most of the work can

report fully achieves its initial goal, and
the President is to be commended for
the worthy effort that produced this report. Whether it can become the framework for the future it envisions will be the
challenge and the promise of America's
