Bush Budget Stops Funding for EPA Libraries, Electronic Catalog

Under President George W. Bush’s proposed budget, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) would shut down its network of libraries that serve its own scientists as well as the public, according to internal agency documents released today by Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility (PEER), a national association of government employees in the natural resources agencies.

In addition to the libraries, the agency will pull the plug on its electronic catalog which tracks an estimated 50,000 unique documents and research studies that are available nowhere else.

Under the Bush budget, $2 million of a total agency library budget of $2.5 million will be lost, including the entire $500,000 budget for the EPA Headquarters library and its electronic catalog that makes it possible to search for documents through the entire EPA library network. These reductions are a small portion of the $300 million in cuts the administration has proposed for EPA operations.

At the same time, President Bush is proposing to increase EPA research funding for topics such as nanotechnology, air pollution and drinking water system security as part of his “American Competitive Initiative.”

----------------------------------------

one remark was:

“How are EPA scientists supposed to engage in cutting edge research when they cannot find what the agency has already done?” asked PEER Executive Director Jeff Ruch.“The President’s plan will not make us more competitive if we have to spend half our time re-inventing the wheel.”

when are scientists in america and around the world going to get really angry?

global warming will not wait

neither will women who want toxic free newborns

1. EVERYONE should watch the video "Arsenal of Hypocrisy" to fully
understand the bigger picture of the grand plan. This is a documentary, NOT a conspiracy video.

Arsenal of Hypocrisy:
The Space Program and the Military Industrial Complex
http://www.arsenalofhypocrisy.com/index.asp

I watched this the other night on Free Speech TV (FSTV). http://www.freespeech.org/fscm2/genx.php?name=home

It is the most compelling and telling documentary I have ever watched.

What the BushCo administration and PNAC thugs are doing is of huge design, it boggles the mind. Watching this video really puts it all in perspective..and it's scarier than hell, and made me mad as hell as it was explained.

Arsenal of Hypocrisy can also be requested as a library item through Project Peacemakers at: http://library.projectpeacemakers.peaceworks.ca/library/ResourceView/18/362

Are you outraged about the current state of affairs within our government? Are you wondering why there is so much meddling by this administration and what appears to be ugly and/or weird mistakes in foreign policy and military actions?

Please take the time somehow to watch this documentary.

It will make sense.

Our nation, our world is headed for greater disaster than ever known in its entire unrecorded and recorded history.
