Re: Support for the President’s FY25 Proposal for Mandatory CSC and 105(l) Funding
Dear Chair Murray, Chair Cole, Vice Chair Collins, and Ranking Member DeLauro: On behalf of the undersigned Tribal partner organizations and our members, we strongly support the proposal to reclassify Contract Support Costs and Section 105(l) Tribal Lease Payments as mandatory appropriations. We respectfully urge you to include the proposal in the FY25 Interior and Environment Appropriations bill (hereinafter “Interior bill”). The President’s budget request has consistently recommended this change since FY 2022.
