On Wednesday, April 30, 2003, the House Resources Committee will mark up a committee print released last week by Resources Republicans. Representative George Miller, who introduced a wildfire bill (H.R. 1621) on April 3, 2003 with Peter DeFazio (D-OR), will offer the bill as a substitute to the Republican print.
Attached, please find a side-by-side comparison of the Democratic substitute and the Republican committee print, prepared by the office of Representative Miller.
