America's National Security Demands Education Reform A shortage of well-qualified math and science professionals coupled with poor math and science test scores of American students constitute a "crisis" in the minds of the 14-member U.S. Commission on National Security. The panel named education reform as its No. 2 priority last week, second only to investment innovations. "If the United States does not stop and reverse negative educational trends-the general teacher shortage, and the downward spiral in science and math education and performance-it will be unable to maintain its position of global leadership over the next century," wrote the Commission in its third and final report of a three-year study. Some of the Commission's recommendations to the President Bush and the 107th Congress include: Reduced-interest loans and scholarships for math and science students A National Security Teaching Program to foster excellence in science and math teaching Increased funding for professional development of math and science teachers

State Geological Survey Almost all of the 50 states (and Puerto Rico) have an agency that deals with geological hazards and resources within its bounds. Some have more than one (e.g., one for petroleum resources, one for general geology, and one for water resources), and some have delegated the responsibilities to a unit within a state university. Most, but not all of these institutions are connected to the Internet. For all of these agencies, we've included snail mail addresses as well as known e-mail and Internet links.
