President Obama Releases Fiscal Year 2010 Budget Details

$787 Million for Military Construction on Guam

$2 Million for Local Infrastructure Improvements through OIA

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – May 7, 2009 – Washington, D.C. –

Congresswoman Madeleine Z. Bordallo today announced that $787 million in military construction projects for Guam are included in the Fiscal Year 2010 budget submission released by President Barack Obama early today. The documents released by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) as well as each respective agency provide greater detail on the larger budget figures that were released in February. The entire federal budget proposed by President Obama for Fiscal Year 2010 is more than $3.4 trillion.

“The robust military construction funding programmed for 2010 signals the beginning of major construction on Guam to prepare for the military build-up,” Congresswoman Bordallo said today. “The funding targets key initial infrastructure to support the military build-up. Of particular importance is the $48 million in Defense Access Roads funding that will be used to improve the haul and access road network on Guam. Additionally, the Department of Defense (DoD) has programmed $259 million to begin construction of a more modern Naval Hospital that will ultimately provide better health care facilities and increased specialty care capacity.”

The President’s budget also includes $2 million for the Department of the Interior’s Office of Insular Affairs to assist the Government of Guam in financing upgrades to infrastructure in 2010 by leveraging funds from Rural Development loan and loan guarantee programs administered by the United States Department of Agriculture. This funding is programmed to support the local infrastructure requirements resulting from the increase in population as a result of the military buildup on Guam.

“The two million for the Office of Insular Affairs will go towards infrastructure improvements in support of the military buildup on Guam. I am working with my colleagues in both the House and the Senate to protect the funding for Guam contained in the President’s budget proposal and to ensure it remains intact as the budget process continues.”
