This week's issue includes: House Committee Restores Funding for Urban Parks; Community Character Act UpdateBipartisan Letter Calls for Increased Ag Conservation Funding; and House Subcommittee to Examine American Community Survey. "The House Interior Appropriations Subcommittee approved its version of a spending bill for FY02. In contrast to recent years, the vote was bipartisan and free of controversial amendments. Much of the early consensus was based on the fact that the bill represents an $800 million increase over the Bush Administration request. Overall, the $18.9 billion spending measure provides an $88 million increase from the current year."
