Reclamation's FY 2011 Budget Request is $1.1 Billion - President Barack Obama's FY 2011 budget request, released on Monday February 1, 2011, includes a total of $1,064.7 million in new (gross) budget authority for the Department of the Interior's Bureau of Reclamation. The President's request reflects his continuing commitment to be prudent with taxpayer dollars while setting priorities for spending. "The President's budget proposal promotes fiscal responsibility while allowing Reclamation to continue to meet its mission of providing water and producing renewable, clean hydropower," said Reclamation Commissioner Michael L. Connor. "The President's proposal will help communities in the West address their water-related challenges by supporting Reclamation's mission of managing, developing, and protecting water and related resources in an environmentally and economically sound manner in the interest of the American people."
