This book is essentially a collection of relevant information on the subject of Wesqxrns of mass Destruction. The information came primarily from federal government sources and is believed to be reliable and authoritative. 1 have included in the book the sources of all information. 

The federal government s central source for the sale of scientific, technical, engineering and related business information produced by or for the U.S. government. 

Excise taxes placed on specific energy sources tend to reduce the demand for these energy sources in both the short and the long run. The federal government imposes excise taxes on almost all petroleum products and coal (see Table I). The federal government also imposes excise taxes on many transportation uses of methanol, ethanol, natural gas, and propane and imposes a fee on electricity produced from nuclear power plants. 

The most important way families can lower exposures to lead is to know about the sources of lead in their homes and avoid exposure to these sources. Some homes or day-care facilities may have more lead in them than others. Families who live in or visit these places may be exposed to higher amounts of lead. These include homes built before 1978 that may have been painted with paint that contains lead (lead-based paint). If you are buying a home that was built before 1978, you may want to know if it contains lead based paint. Federal government regulations require a person selling a home to tell the real estate agent or person buying the home of any known lead-...

Net sales are the primary source of revenue from goods and services. This figure includes the amount reported after returned goods, discounts, and allowances for price reductions are taken into account. Cost of sales represents all the expenses to convert raw materials to finished products. The major components of these expenses are direct material, direct labor, and overhead. If the cost of sdes is subtracted from net sales, the result is the gross margin. One of the most important items on the income statement is depreciation and amortization. Depreciation is an allowance the federal government permits for the... 

I begin with an analysis of the behavior of prices paid for vaccines by the federal government during the period 1992-2002, using data from two different sources. 1 construct price indexes that compare the price of a vaccine in a given year to the price of the same vaccine in another year. The indexes do not compare prices of different vaccines (e.g., new vs. old vaccines). 

In accord with the federal government s unwritten rule that no bad deed goes unrewarded, the current Bush administration has reappointed Fisher to EPA and promoted her to Deputy Administrator. Not unexpectedly, the combination of an agency head —the scientifically unschooled EPA Administrator Christie Whitman—with an aggressive, unscientific, unprincipled deputy has been anathema to the creation of sound public policy (and a source of continuing embarrassment for the Bush administration). 

The bench-scale experimentation and pilot-scale testing required to develop new flue gas treatment technology entail large expenditures. The funding sources available to meet this need are the state and federal governments, the combined utility industry through the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI), and the major boiler and flue gas treatment system manufacturers. Each must play a productive role in the conduct of this research. 

Petroleum and natural gas supply over 75 percent of the total energy consumed in the United States and these two fossil fuels are expected to play a continuing role as major sources of energy for many years to come. Oil, which currently supplies 46 percent of our total energy has become an essential part of our industrial and transportation and electric power sectors and without sufficient supplies of oil our economy would first falter and then collapse. Because of restrictive laws and Federal government actions, the production of petroleum in the U.S. has peaked and has been declining since 1970 when it reached 11.3 million barrels per day.
