Wells, Jr. David G. Wood PHONE (202) 512-3841 MAILING ADDRESS U.S. General Accounting Office Natural Resources 6 Environment Room 2T23 441 G Street, NW Washington, D.C. 20548 NATURAL RESOURCES AND ENVIRONMENT The United States is rich in natural resources and beauty and, at the same time, home to a strong economy. These features underlie a way of life that is the envy of much of the world. At the same time, however, they pose a challenge to the American people and their elected officials - that is, how do we balance the need to protect these resources forfuture generations with the need to use them for current economic growth? Natural Resources and Environment contributes to policy debates on that and other questions by conducting a wide range ofstudies on natural resource and environmental matters. I DECITO Our work provides timely analyses, recommendations, and policy options to congressional and executive branch officials on ways to improve the government's policies and programs in the following areas: agriculture; federally owned lands; energy supplies; pollution control; the disposal of hazardous and nuclear wastes; nuclear weapons safety, reliability, and proliferation; and science. Consequently, our analysts work mainly on the programs of the Departments of Agriculture, Interior, and Energy; the Environmental Protection Agency; the Nuclear Regulatory Commission; the Army Corps of Engineers; and the National Science Foundation. They work out of offices located in various regions of the country, as well as in Washington, D.C. We are particularly focused on helping the Congress improve the safety of the nation's food supply, taking into consideration the implications of genetically modified foods and grains; structure farm programs to enhance the agricultural sector's strength while maintaining stable and affordable food prices; improve the government's management of its national forests, parks, and lands; ensure secure sources of energy for Americans at stable and affordable prices; improve the nation's air and water quality and address multinational environmental issues; enhance the economy and effectiveness of efforts to clean up hazardous and nuclear waste sites; prevent the proliferation of nuclear weapons; oversee the government's management of its nuclear weapons stockpile; and determine how federal science programs could be better coordinated and focused.
