(B) for the provision of levels of assistance for the forestry programs of such tribes, and
(C) the allocation of base support funds to such tribes under the program established pursuant to subsection (a).
(2) The formula established pursuant to this subsection shall provide funding necessary to support-
(A) one professional forester, including fringe benefits and support costs, for each eligible tribe, and
