On March 3, the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee will hold a hearing on the U.S. Department of Interior's budget request for Fiscal Year 2011. Included is an increase of $12 million for the controversial Bureau of Land Management Wild Horse and Burro program, and $42.5 million to purchase the first of several holding pastures in the Midwest or East to house wild horses taken from the West.
