Alternative Transportation Fuels and Vehicles : Energy, Environment, and Development Issues 스크랩

  • Brent D. Yacobucci
  • |

Three key laws, the Alternative Motor Fuels Act of 1988(P.L.100-494), the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990(P.L.101-549), and the Energy Policy Act of 1992(P.L.102-486), as well as three Executive Orders, support the development and commercialiation of alternative fuels and alternative fuel vehicles. These legislative acts and administrative actions provide tax incentives to purchase AFVs, promote the expansion of alternative fueling infrastructure, and require the use of FVs by various public and private entities. Several bills in the 106th Congress proposed to expand these programs or create further incentives for alternative fuel and vehicle use. Opponents argue that there are other, more cost-effective ways of promoting clean air and energy conservation. This report reviews these issues.

첨부자료가 없어 원문신청을 할 수 없는 자료입니다. All parties agree tha tencryption is essential to the growth of electronic commerce and use of the Internet, but there is little consensus beyond that. Seven bills on encryption or computer security have been introduced in the 105th Congress. Hearings have been held in several House and Senate committees. The Administration's Policy Promotes the use of strong eneryption, here and abroad, as long as it is designed with “key recovery“ features where a “key recovery agent“ holds a “spare key“ to decrypt the information. The Administration would require key recovery agents to make the decryption key available to duly authorized federal and state government entities. Privacy advocates worry that law enforcement entities would have too much access to private information.

Manipulating Molecules : The National Nanotechnology Initiative 스크랩

  • Michael E. Davey
  • |

The Administration has requested $495 million for nanotechnology research, a $225 million increase over FY2000. Nanotechnology is a newly emerging field of science where scientists and engineers are beginning to manipulate matter at the molecular and atomic level. Proponents argue that nanotechnology will lead to a new industrial revolution in the 21st century. Scientists note that nanotechnology is still in its infancy, with large scale practical applications 10 to 20 years away. Congressional concerns center around why the Administration requested such a large increase for the NNI, the extent to which the newly established Nano Coordinating Office can successfully fulfill its multi-agency planning and coordinating responsibilities, and what role the federal government should play in ensuring that nanotechnology fulfill its long-term potential broad-based commercial applicaitons. While the Administration requested an 84% increase for nanotechnology, Congress approved a 56% increase($422 million), or %151 million above the FY2000 $271 million finding level.

As Russia reforms its fighter aircraft industrial base, there appear to be many parallels between their experience and what is happening in the United States in terms of declining domestic demand and pressure for consolidation. By examining the events in Russia’s military aviation industrial base, especially the experience of the Sukhoi and Mikoyan aircraft design bureaus, policy makers in the United States may gain insight into current and forthcoming domestic fighter aircraft industrial base issues.

Among issues facing Congress are: the use of foreign launch vehicles for U.S.-built satellites, what else could or should be done to facilitate the U.S. commercial ELV industry, development of future U.S. launch systems and technology, and space shuttle safety. Given current budget constraints, issues relating to the space program and balancing funding between NASA and other national priorities are expected to be difficult to resolve.

  • 과학기술과 인문사회

There are numerous potential legislative initiatives available to Congress to affect the Agreed Framework. A certain role for Congress will involve Administration requests for appropriations to help finance the costs of the various benefits to North Korea. Moreover, Congress under law will have to review a prospective U.S.-North Korea nuclear agreement, which the Administration will have to negotiate before light water reactors with U.S. technology can be sent to North Korea.
