Abstract
The Committee on Oversight and Government Reform conducted an investigation into the National Parks Conservation Association who secured a $2 billion earmark. The report identifies three principal flaws for the amount earmarked for the National Park Service; (1) The relation between Appropriations Chairman David Obey and his son Craig Obey (Chief lobbyist for the National Parks Conservation Association); (2) The bill doubling the agency's annual appropriation without knowledge on whether the agency will be able to absorb such a significant increase; and (3) as The slush fund bill created that allows the National Park Service to transfer funds to the broad category of Operations of Park systems.
