[Lenny Siegel <lsiegel@cpeo.org>]

On March 15, 2005, Deputy Under Secretary of Defense (Installations and 
Environment) Philip W. Grone summarized the Department's environmental 
budget.

This table is best read in a monospace font such as Courier.

                               FY05 Approp.  FY06 Request

Environmental Restoration            1,352         1,370

TOTAL                                3,937         3,934

*Funding levels reflect total requirement.
**International is included in Pollution Prevention and Compliance.



The first footnote seems to suggest that non-budget funds, such as 
property sale revenues, are included in the Base Realignment and Closure 
environmental total.

I am particularly concerned about the reduction in environmental 
technology funding, particularly since Congress has seen a need to 
increase such funds to address high priority concerns. - LS
