Overall comment on VI. 3 ; This program area includes a range of applied 

 research and training activities having mixed usefulness within the 

 designated fields of informatics, applied microbiology, and renewable 

 energy resources. All are directed towards the needs of developing 

 countries. Some might benefit from oversight by other UN agencie-.. As 

 far as UNESCO program planning and implementation are concerned, the 

 United States would have a limited role in guiding such efforts after a 

 U.S. withdrawal from UNESCO except through indirect contacts via NGOs. 

 The total annual program budget (projects, staff and overhead) for 

 these activities is about $6 million of which the U.S. share would be 

 $1.5 million. The U.S. contribution to program costs ($3.6 million) is 

 approximately $900,000/year. It is proposed that selected activities, 

 noted below, be supported at a level of $1 million/year. There is a 

 mix of alternatives to consider depending on the particular area and 

 preferred mechanism: 



Alternative Option 1 : 



Informatics (selected activities) : Nationally 

 managed activities with possible use of other 

 UN agencies $ 500,000
