I think we need to be very coordinated with our IGR staff and, by <br /> extension,with Smith-Dawson in offering any comments on pending federal legislation. Jason, I'm looking for some <br /> guidance here. <br /> EricJ <br /> Original Message <br /> From: DUCKETT Scott <br /> Sent: Friday,July 19,2002 10:44 AM <br /> To: MEDLIN Johnny R <br /> Cc: JONES Eric R; PICADO Therese M;WOLD Eric N <br /> Subject: Register Guard Reporter <br /> FYI-I received a call from Greg Bolt who is a reporter at the Register Guard. He asked if I was familiar with an email going <br /> around that is from Mary O'Brien claiming that the West Eugene Wetlands program is going to lose$1 million from Congress <br /> because of the parkway. I told him that I have not seen the email. Apparently the email claims that Congress was going to give <br /> the program another$1 million but that it has been cancelled due to the potential for the parkway to go forward. I am aware that <br /> the House of Representatives had included$1 million for the West Eugene Wetlands in a draft committee budget about two <br /> weeks ago but I have not seen the Senate version,nor have I seen any other information that confirms the email.He was waiting <br /> for a return call from Congressman DeFazio's office for more details about the budget situation. <br /> He continued to interview me about the West Eugene Wetlands program(total acreage,what we would do with the money if it <br /> did come through,etc). <br /> D.
