Whereas on February 7, 2000, President Clinton and Vice
President Gore submitted a budget for fiscal year 2001
that raises taxes and fees on working families by $116
billion over 5 years, creates 84 new Federal programs,
places Government spending increases on auto-pilot, and
fails to offer any serious proposal to strengthen social se-
curity or medicare;
Whereas over the next decade the Clinton-Gore budget would
spend $1.3 trillion on bigger Government—consuming 70
percent of the projected $1.9 trillion in budget sur-
‘‘(6) to address a specific resource concern or 
set of concerns on private, non-industrial forest land;

graphic area in adoption of integrated pest manage-
ment practices and approaches; and 
‘‘(8) to keep working farms and ranches facing 
development pressures in agricultural use. 
‘‘(g) SELECTION PROCESS.—In evaluating applica-
tions under this section, the Secretary shall consider rec-
ommendations from scientists and others with appropriate 
expertise from agencies within the Department of Agri-
culture, other Federal and State agencies, and interest 
groups, including producer associations and conservation 
and environmental organizations.

‘‘(1) MAXIMUM; EXCEPTIONS.—The Secretary 
shall not require more than 25 percent of the cost 
of a project or initiative supported under an agree-
ment entered into under this section to come from 
non-Federal sources. However, the Secretary may 
award more points to projects or initiatives offering 
to cover a higher percentage of the cost of the 
project or initiative from non-Federal sources.
