This web site contains frequently updated information on congressional and federal agency actions that affect the geoscience community. Issues include the federal budget process, the environment, natural resources, energy, natural hazards, and science policy. This site is an important component in AGI's efforts to keep geoscientists informed about policy developments in Washington. An archive of monthly and special updates and alerts sent out by e-mail is also available on this web site. For those seeking additional information, Congressional Reseach Service reports providing in-depth research on these and other science-related topics are available on the website of the National Council for Science and the Environment.
