House Committee on Appropriations <br />Subcommittee for Interior and Related Agencies <br />Instructions for Providing Written Testimony for Fiscal Year 2005 <br />The Subcommittee on Interior and Related Agencies will not be scheduling any outside witness <br />hearings on the fiscal year 2005 budget. As in past years, interested parties may submit written <br />testimony to be included in the official record. However, due to current postal service measures, <br />which have complicated Congressional mail procedures, the Subcommittee strongly recommends <br />submitting testimony via electronic mail. <br />Testimony must be received no later than 5:00 pm on April 2, 2004 for it to be included in the <br />printed hearing volume. <br />To send via standard mail your written statements must: <br />• Not exceed four pages; <br />• Be singled- spaced on 8.5 by 11 inch letter size paper; <br />• Be at least 12 point font and one inch margins; <br />• Clearly state in the first paragraph the agency, program, and amount of money involved in <br />the request; <br />• Clearly indicate your name, title, and institutional affiliation at the top of the first page; and <br />• Not include color and detailed photos since the hearing volume will be photographically <br />reproduced. However, use of charts and tables and the use of appropriate bold type and <br />bullets are acceptable, as long as they are within the four page maximum length. <br />• You should send four individually stapled, unfolded copies, and one original, unstapled copy <br />to: <br />Subcommittee on Interior and Related Agencies Appropriations <br />B -308 Rayburn House Office Building <br />Washington, D.C. 20515 <br />* Note: if sending testimony by any means other than electronically, allow an additional 3 to 4 <br />days for delivery (the deadline is still 5:OOpm on April 2, 2004) <br />To send via electronic mail your written statements must meet all of the above standard mail <br />requirements except for the multiple copy requirement. <br />• You should send the original as an electronic mail attachment to: <br />approp.interior@mail.house.gov <br />Please follow these instructions carefully and adhere to the deadline. Do not send material via <br />fax. Additional or late material will not be included in the printed record. <br />If you have any questions please contact the Interior subcommittee detailee, Darren Benjamin, @ <br />(202) 225 -3081, or appropdetail ee. in@mail. house. gov <br />
