Dear Chairperson Frelinghuysen and Ranking Member Lowey:

We are writing to urge you to provide level funding of $300 million in FY 2018 for the Great Lake Restoration Initiative (GLRI). The GLRI is producing important results for the eight-state Great Lakes region. Sustaining our progress in restoring and protecting the lakes is a top priority for the Great Lakes states, local communities, tribes, conservation organizations, and business and industry.
