IV. CONCLUSION The major challenge during Fiscal Year 1997 - 98 will be to address ever dwindling resources. Service providers have been made aware of this trend and we will be working with them to seek ways to minimize the impact on services. Your favorable consideration of this budget request is appreciated.
