Some of these sites pertain to the lives of Oklahoma’s original settlers—the Wichita and Caddo, and perhaps such relative latecomers as the Kiowa Apache, Osage, Kiowa, and Comanche.

RNC Letter Final with Signatures
August 16, 2016 An Open Letter to Reince Priebus, Chairman, Republican National Committee In every election cycle, the Republican National Committee (RNC) must make difficult decisions in the closing months about where to allocate its limited resources – money, time, staff, and ads – to ensure the best possible opportunities for the Party’s success. Given the catastrophic impact that Donald Trump’s losing presidential campaign will have on down-ballot Senate and House races, we urge you to immediately suspend all discretionary RNC support for Trump and focus the entirety of the RNC’s available resources on preserving the GOP’s congressional majorities. The signatories to this letter have been involveD with Republican politics at the local, state, and national levels for more than three decades. We have served as past and current elected officials and as staffers for the RNC; appointees in every Republican administration since President Reagan; advisors on the last nine GOP presidential campaigns; aiDes on leadership, personal, and committee staff in both the House and Senate; grassroots workers; and delegates to multiple GOP conventions. We believe that Donald Trump’s divisiveness, recklessness, incompetence, and record- breaking unpopularity risk turning this election into a Democratic landsliDe, and only the immediate shift of all available RNC resources to vulnerable Senate and House races will prevent the GOP from drowning with a Trump-emblazoned anchor around its neck. This should not be a difficult decision, as Donald Trump’s chances of being elected president are evaporating by the day. Since the GOP convention, less than a month ago, he has alienated millions of voters of all parties by: • Attacking Gold Star families of soldiers who died serving their country; • Urging a hostile foreign government to intervene in a U.S. -

Approved in Committee along party lines March 21, 2001, the budget resolution caps discretionary budget authority at $661 billion, a four percent increase over FY2001. The measure would pay $2.3 trillion over 10 years for debt reduction and would reserve $517 billion as a contingency fund for spending or additional debt reduction. In addition, the resolution contains instructions for four tax reconciliation bills and sets aside $153 billion from the Medicare surplus for prescription drug benefits. The budget resolution does not have the force of law but is a spending blueprint adopted by Congress and used to allocate funding authority to the 13 appropriations committees. The Senate is expected to begin deliberations on its budget resolution in April. Appropriations Committee CURRENT MEMBERSHIP LISTING House Appropriations Committee C.W. Young (R-FL) (Chair), David R.
