When's he gonna terminate the American Heritage Rivers Initiative?
"As a member of the Agriculture Subcommittee of the House Appropriations Committee Hinchey submitted written questions to Veneman after an April budget hearing. He noted that the administration's budget plan zeroed out NRCS's participation in the Heritage Rivers Initiative and asked Veneman what would happen to the two river navigators. Veneman responded that the contract for the navigator position on the Upper Susquehanna/Lackawanna project would not be extended and that the NRCS employee currently assigned as river navigator for the Hudson would now take responsibility for both rivers and would be limited to working on USDA-authorized programs. "The response from Secretary Veneman and the language in USDA's budget request made it clear that the Bush Administration sought to eliminate the American Heritage Rivers Initiative,"
