Letter to Dear Chairwoman Lowey of the House Appropriations Committee, Ranking Member Granger of the House Appropriations Committee, Chairwoman Kaptur of the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Energy and Water, and Ranking Member Simpson of the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Energy and Water - Mucarsel-Powell, Mast, Rooney, Hastings Continue Push To Fully Fund Everglades Restoration

Letter

Dear Chairwoman Lowey, Ranking Member Granger, Chairwoman Kaptur, and Ranking Member Simpson:

South Florida Ecosystem Restoration is the annual line-item in the Energy and Water Appropriations Act that is critically important to funding the multi-decade and intricate series of overlapping project features necessary to achieve the national priority of Everglades restoration. As you know, on May 13, the President submitted a budget amendment to the Corps of Engineers Construction request for a total funding level of $200 million for South Florida Ecosystem Restoration. We urge the committee to allocate the $200 million requested by the President for South Florida Ecosystem Restoration during full committee markup of the Energy and Water Appropriations Act.

Sincerely,
