EDS: Clients who used the story slugged BC-CNS-Wildfire Funds, which moved March 18 under a WASHINGTON dateline, are asked to use the following correction. A corrected version of the story has been posted here.

WASHINGTON – A March 18 Cronkite News story on a hearing on the U.S. Forest Service budget incorrectly characterized Forest Service Chief Tom Tidwell’s position on a Senate bill on wildfire funding. The service does not have a position on the bill, but Tidwell said he appreciates the effort by the senators and that the service wants to continue to work with Congress to find a solution to the funding problems.
