Overall Comment on X.9 ! This program area, including environmental 

 education and information, contains a mixture of activities of varying 

 quality, yet all potentially useful. These activities are largely 

 directed towards producing practical resource management information 

 for developing countries through projects pertaining to communications 

 and publication of research results. Some of these activities are of 

 interest to the United States. 



Alternative Option 1 : Provide the U.S. share of support for selected 

 activities ($150,000) to UNESCO through Funds-in-Trust, donations, 

 etc., plus an additional $150,000 to USMAB; total $300,000.
