Thirty thousand fewer emergency personnel may be trained at Texas A&M and 97,000 nation-wide each year if a proposed federal budget cut is passed, said U.S. Representative Chet Edwards.
A&M's National Emergency Response and Rescue Training Center (NERRTC) is facing a possible $15 million cut for the 2007 fiscal year, decreasing funding from its current $22 million to $7 million.

Edwards Stops $12.5 Million Cut in Homeland Security Funding for A&M Program
(WASHINGTON, DC) – U.S. Representative Chet Edwards, a member of the Homeland Security Appropriations Subcommittee, today announced that $20 million has been approved by the full House Appropriations Committee today for 2006 homeland security training and projects at the National Emergency Response and Rescue Training Center (NERRTC) at Texas A&M University. The approved funding reverses a $12.5 million proposed cut under the Administration’s 2006 homeland security budget for NERRTC that would have resulted in only a $7.5 million allocation, or 60% cut, next year.
