Above all, I hope you and your office staff are enjoying your Constitution Day.

I wonder if you have been able to help me with the below request?  

Respectfully,

I'd put my money on the sun and solar energy. What a source of power! I hope we don't have to wait until oil and coal run out before we tackle that.  Thomas Edison in a converstion with Henry Ford and Walter Firestone (1931).

Greetings, 

 

Honorable Congressman Rogers:

 

I have been told the House passed a bill which has been reported to defund or dramatically cut the operating budget of the Office of Sustainable Communities and therefore the block grants from this office. 

 

I have searched, trust me, and scanned through HR 2584, Department of the Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2012 looking for any reference to the office without success.  

 

Might your office have knowledge or a better means of searching for 

            1.  The bill file number and title of the bill, if not HR 2584

            2.  The page number within the bill providing the budget AND the amount of reduction in dollars and percentage. 

 

Representative Blumenauer has stated concerning HR2584 on 25July2011 ".. Finally, most paradoxically, this bill restricts the funding for the EPA Office of Sustainable Communities."   

 

Your help will be greatly appreciated.

 

Respectfully,

 

Frank Dillman
