These activities are funded pursuant to Public Law 106 -392, as amended, which <br />authorized the federal government to provide cost sharing for these two ongoing recovery <br />programs' remaining capital construction projects. Raising and stocking of the endangered fish <br />produced at program hatchery facilities, restoring flood plain habitat and fish passage, regulating <br />and supplying instream habitat flows, installing fish screens in canal systems and controlling <br />non - native fish populations are key components of the programs' ongoing capital construction <br />projects. Substantial non - federal cost - sharing funding exceeding 50 percent for capital <br />construction activities demonstrates the strong commitment and effective partnerships embodied <br />in both of these successful programs. <br />The requested federal appropriations are critically important to move these efforts <br />forward. The past support and assistance of your subcommittee has greatly facilitated the <br />success of these multi - state, multi - agency programs. On behalf of the citizens of Utah, I thank <br />you for your support and request the subcommittee's assistance for FY 2007 funding to ensure <br />the Bureau of Reclamation's continuing financial participation in these vitally important <br />programs. <br />Sincerely, <br />A - 4- <br />Jon M. Huntsman, Jr. <br />Governor <br />cc: The Honorable Orrin Hatch <br />The Honorable Robert Bennett <br />Governors Freudenthal, Owens and Richardson <br />
