*** Crystal Ball for Congressional Return in January ***
Representatives and senators will return to Washington on January 20th.
Before tackling any new projects or initiatives, both houses must
finish work on legislative items that were incomplete at the end of 2003.
The Senate must tackle the fiscal year (FY) 2004 omnibus spending bill
and may again take up comprehensive energy legislation upon its return.
Both chambers must approve a major transportation authorization bill
that was put on hold until the New Year. With the politically charged
atmosphere of the 2004 presidential election, many insiders are
predicting that passage of the energy bill, indeed passage of anything, will be
difficult at best.
On December 9th, Senate GOP leaders tried to end debate on the
House-passed consolidated spending bill, but Senate Appropriations Committee
ranking member Robert Byrd (D-WV) objected. Rather than bring
legislators back to Washington for a series of roll-call votes, Majority Leader
Bill Frist (R-TN) kept a promise he made shortly before Thanksgiving to
keep the chamber out of session until January 20th. E&E Daily has
reported that upon return, Frist plans to immediately hold a cloture vote
to limit debate on the omnibus spending package. He needs 60 votes to
move the bill out of the debate stage and toward approval. Given the
fractious nature of the Senate these days, hopes that two affirmative
votes are all the Senate needs to fund the government for FY 2004 may be
just that.
A staff member for one of the appropriations subcommittees opined
during the recess that in order to bring more people on board with the bill,
the conference may have to be reconvened and money moved from one
account to another. It is also possible that no resolution will be reached
before January 31st when the government ceases to be funded at last
year's spending levels. No one truly believes that the government will be
unfunded and thus shut down. Instead, some have predicted that those
agencies without a FY 2004 budget could simply be funded at FY 2003
levels until the end of the 2004 fiscal year on September 30th (a full-year
continuing resolution). By then, hopefully, Congress will have approved
FY 2005 funding. In either of these scenarios, the House would have to
revisit the altered spending legislation when it reconvenes on January
20th.
The energy bill stalled on November 25th when an attempt to end debate
failed by two votes. Since that time, the hunt has been on to find
those two votes and move the bill toward passage. Senate Minority Leader
Tom Daschle (D-SD) voted in favor of moving the bill forward because it
contains huge ethanol subsidies that are very important to the
agriculture-intensive state of South Dakota. However, Daschle has been
unsuccessful recruiting more yes votes largely because of a provision limiting
liability for MTBE producers that has left a sour taste in the mouths
of New England Democrats and Republicans alike. At an end-of-session
news conference with House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), Daschle
said that as the GOP controls both houses of Congress and the White
House, "I find it interesting that it's my responsibility to pass
legislation." Daschle continued: "Of course, I want to see [the energy bill]
passed," but it is up to the Republicans to "take out all these sops
to the special interests."
*** House Passes Omnibus Appropriations Bill, Senate Delays Action ***
An AGI Special Update on December 11th reported on spending levels for
geoscience-related programs contained in the FY 2004 consolidated
appropriations bill (H.R. 2673), which was approved by the House of
Representatives on December 8th by a vote of 242-176. As noted above, the
Senate declined to vote on the bill until January 20th, leaving the $328
billion bill in limbo. This legislation combines seven separate
appropriations bills that provide funding for the bulk of the federal
departments and agencies, including the National Science Foundation, NASA, NOAA,
EPA and the Departments of Education and Agriculture. AGI's Special
Update can be accessed at
http://www.agiweb.org/gap/legis108/omnibus_update1203.html .
*** Rocky Road Ahead for Kyoto Climate Treaty ***
In early December, negotiators at the Ninth Conference of the Parties
to the U.N. Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP-9), in Milan,
Italy, reached agreement on how countries can earn emissions credits
under the Kyoto Protocol through forest preservation and reforestation
projects.
Ambassadors were also working on details of a climate change fund that
would reimburse poorer nations adversely affected by severe weather
events, with OPEC nations arguing they should also be eligible for
compensation. But these developments were overshadowed by the announcement
that Russia would not approve the Kyoto accord. Without Russia's
participation, the treaty's ratification would fail because its signatory
nations do not produce at least 55 percent of the world's greenhouse gas
emissions.
Greenwire reported that many Americans attending the conference –
including congressional staff and representatives from industry and
environmental groups – found Russian ratification to be only one issue
potentially undermining the treaty. According to these sources, equally
important is the fact that many signatory nations will likely fail to meet
greenhouse gas reduction targets by 2012, while other major carbon
dioxide emitters like the United States, India and China are years away from
re-entering global climate change negotiations. The executive director
of the U.S.-based Climate Policy Center, Lee Lane, told Greenwire that
"the real takeaway message is simply the process of Kyoto is in
profound disarray. People should be asking themselves whether this is a
process that has much of a future." Further, Lane came away feeling that
the technical issues aren't very important. Instead, "the serious
question is how do we get the important non-participants into the proces
s on emissions controls?"

http://www.agiweb.org/gap/legis108/climate.html.
*** AGU Releases Climate Change Statement ***
At a December 16th press conference, the American Geophysical Union
(AGU) released a new position statement on human climate impacts that
concludes: "The global climate is changing and human activities are
contributing to that change." According to the chair of the panel that
drafted the statement – Marvin Geller, an atmospheric scientist at Stony
Brook University in New York – the AGU statement is consistent with
Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and National Research Council
reports as well as the Bush administration climate change science plan. John
Christy, director of the Earth Systems Science Center at the University
of Alabama at Huntsville and a member of the panel, told reporters at
the National Press Club in Washington: "As a climate scientist, you do
come to the conclusion that physically the system is changing due to the
things that humans have done."
The new position statement, adopted by the AGU Council the previous
week, replaces a 1998 statement on climate change that focused solely on
greenhouse gases rather than the full range of human impacts, including
air pollution and land-use changes. The statement is available at
http://www.agu.org/cgi-bin/asla/asla-list?read=2003-13.msg . A
Geotimes web extra on the press conference can be found at
http://www.geotimes.org/current/WebExtra121903.html .
*** Scientists Sought for International Climate Change Report ***
The U.S. Climate Change Science Program is seeking experts as
coordinating lead authors, lead authors, contributing authors, expert reviewers,
and review editors for the Fourth Assessment Report (AR4) of the
Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). Through three working
groups assessing the scientific, technical and socio-economic information
relevant to the risk of human-induced climate change, the IPCC provides
advice to the world community, and in particular to the parties of the
United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCC). The
IPCC will complete the AR4 in 2007. Nominations for these positions must
be completed by noon on Monday, January 5, 2004. To access information
about how to nominate someone as an author, reviewer or editor, see the
IPCC Secretariat's website
http://www.ipcc.ch/ar4/nominations/nominations.htm or
http://www.climatescience.gov/matescience.gov/.
*** Yucca Mountain Rail Routes Proposed ***
On December 23rd, the Energy Department released two proposed new rail
routes for nuclear waste to travel to the planned Yucca Mountain
repository. According to Greenwire, the preferred route, dubbed the
"Caliente Corridor," runs for 319 miles from the town of Caliente in
east-central Lincoln County, west and then south, skirting Nellis Air Force Base
just outside Las Vegas. The second route, the "Carlin Corridor" would
go south through Nye County. "The attributes of these corridors lead
us to be of the view that they will best assure the safe, secure and
timely transport of materials to Yucca Mountain," said Yucca Mountain
Project Director Margaret Chu. Susan Voyles of the Reno Gazette-Journal
reported that building the new lines will cost an estimated $880 million.
Nevada officials were angered by the near-Christmas announcement and
criticized the plan, alleging it was unsafe. "They could walk it, fly
it, waltz it, truck it or send it here by rail," Rep. Shelley Berkley
(D-NV) told the Las Vegas Sun. "It doesn't make it any safer. This is an
open invitation to terrorists around the world." Sen. Harry Reid (D-NV)
was quoted in the Las Vegas Review-Journal as saying, "The Department
of Energy does not have a license to open a nuclear waste dump, and
releasing a preferred route puts them nowhere closer to that ability."
The Yucca Mountain project is now in the licensing phase, under the
jurisdiction of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission. More information
and background on Yucca Mountain is available at
http://www.agiweb.org/gap/legis108/yucca.html .
*** EPA Announces Stricter Mining Enforcement ***
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency issued a draft notice in the
Federal Register on December 10th stating its intentions to enforce
hazardous waste and environmental justice complaints over the next three
years. Among other things, regulators in the field have told EPA
headquarters that the mining and minerals industry is a particular problem
because a number of facilities are operating in violation of the Resource
Conservation and Recovery Act. According to the notice: "Evidence
gathered in recent inspections indicates that mineral processing facilities
are failing to obtain the necessary permits and adequately manage their
wastes." Mishandling of these wastes has "caused fish kills and the
arsenic and cadmium that these wastes often contain have been found in
elevated levels in residential drinking water wells," the notice says.
Comments or recommendations about this notice are welcome if submitted
on or before January 12, 2004. The Federal Register Notice contains
all the information about how to comment and is available online at
http://a257.g.akamaitech.net/7/257/2422/14mar20010800/edocket.access.gpo.gov/2003/pdf/03-30593.pdf. To read more about mining on AGI's website,

*** Comments Sought on Fuel Economy Standards ***
The National Highway Traffic and Safety Administration (NHTSA)
announced on December 22nd that it is seeking comments from the public on ways
to improve on the current Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFÉ)
regulations. Currently under CAFÉ, an automobile manufacturer's fleet of
light trucks has to average 20.7 miles per gallon while passenger cars have
to average 27.5 miles per gallon. That distinction has meant auto
manufacturers are not tied to the tougher efficiency requirements when
making sport utility vehicles, which are classified as light trucks even
though they are typically used as passenger vehicles. The Bush
administration has signaled that it may regulate fuel economy in the future by
dividing light trucks by weight instead of using fleet-wide standards.
The downside to that idea is that manufacturers may be tempted to just
build lighter trucks, thus jeopardizing safety. Another way to
restructure the CAFE program so manufacturers don't just build lighter ve
hicles is to judge light trucks' fuel economy as compared with other
vehicles similar in weight or size, rather than calculating an
automakers' fleet-wide average. The Japanese currently use a similar system and
have found that manufacturers are choosing to increase the weight of
the truck so it would be included in a heavier weight class and be
subject to lower fuel efficiency requirements.
According to a statement released by Secretary of Transportation Norman
Mineta, this advanced notice of proposed rulemaking is intended to open
a national dialogue on how best to reform the standards. He stressed
that "we can and must work together to save more fuel, increase
passenger safety and protect American jobs." To read the advanced notice of
proposed rulemaking and get information about how to comment, see

*** AAAS Provides Forum for Post-9/11 Science and Security Issues ***
The American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) has
launched a new website on Science and National Security in the Post-9/11
Environment. The site provides overviews of five major security-related
issues facing the scientific community and a contact page for
scientists to report ways in which they or their colleagues have been affected
by post-9/11 security policies. There are also links to related
projects at other organizations.

*** Grand Canyon National Park Selling Creationist Book ***
On December 16th, the presidents of AGI and six of its member societies
sent a letter to the superintendent of Grand Canyon National Park
expressing concern that a young-Earth creationist book – "Grand Canyon: A
Different View" – was being sold at park bookstores as a source of
scientific information about the canyon's history. The Christian
Broadcasting Network's online bookstore says the following about the book by
Colorado River guide Tom Vail: "According to a biblical time scale, the
Grand Canyon can't possibley [sic] be more than a few thousand years old,
and that is what Tom now believes...[T]his book also has many facts
about the Grand Canyon presented in a biblical light." As a unique
geological wonder that receives over four million visitors per year, the Grand
Canyon represents an unparalleled opportunity to educate our nation's
citizens about earth science, but the opportunity is compromised by the
National Park Service's apparent endorsement of this religious te
xt as science.
The letter from the presidents of AGI, the American Geophysical Union,
Association of American State Geologists, Geological Society of
America, National Association of Geoscience Teachers, Paleontological Society,
and Society for Vertebrate Paleontology is available at
http://www.agiweb.org/gap/legis108/evolution.html . A similar letter
has been sent by the American Institute of Biological Sciences. AGI is
also looking into a report by the Public Employees for Environmental
Responsibility that "Park Service leadership has blocked publication of
guidance for park rangers and other interpretative staff that labeled
creationism as lacking any scientific basis." A review of "Grand Canyon:
A Different View" by Wilf Elders that appeared in Eos can be viewed at
http://www.agu.org/journals/eo/eo0338/2003EO380005.pdf#anchor .
*** Congressional Science Fellowship Deadline Approaches ***
The deadline is coming up for next year's congressional science
fellowships offered by AGI and several of its member societies. These
fellowships provide opportunities for qualified geoscientists to spend a year
working as professional staff in congressional committees and the
personal offices of representatives and senators. The application deadline
for AGI's William L.
Fisher Congressional Geoscience Fellowship is February 1, 2004.
Similar fellowships are available from the American Geophysical Union, the
Geological Society of America/U.S. Geological Survey, and the Soil
Science Society of America. Geoscientists are also eligible for a wide array
of congressional and federal agency fellowships offered by the American
Association for the Advancement of Science. Stipends, application
procedures, qualifications, timetables, and deadlines vary. For further
information, visit http://www.agiweb.org/gap/csf/index.html , which
includes links to the other AGI member society fellowships, and
http://fellowships.aaas.org . Geoscientists are encouraged to apply to
all fellowships for which they qualify.
*** Summer Internship Opportunity for Geoscience Students ***
AGI is seeking outstanding geoscience students with a strong interest
in federal science policy for a twelve-week geoscience and public policy
internship in summer 2004. Interns will gain a first-hand
understanding of the legislative process and the operation of executive branch
agencies. They will also hone both their writing and Web-publishing skills.
Stipends for the summer interns are funded jointly by the AIPG
Foundation and AGI. Applications must be postmarked by March 15, 2004. For
more information, please visit
http://www.agiweb.org/gap/interns/index.html .
*** Congressional Visits Day Scheduled for March 3-4, 2004 ***
Looking ahead, AGI is asking geoscientists to attend the 9th annual
Science-Engineering-Technology Congressional Visits Day (CVD) in
Washington on March 3 - 4, 2004. This event brings over 200 scientists and
engineers to Capitol Hill to visit Members of Congress and their staff
early in the congressional budget cycle in an effort to increase federal
investment in science. AGI would like to see a strong contingent of
geoscientists at this event. We especially encourage Member Society leaders
to consider it.
Attendees spend the first day receiving briefings from federal agency
officials and congressional staff followed by a day of visits. This
year's visits will also have an air of festivity as March 3rd kicks off
the U.S. Geological Survey's 125th anniversary celebration. More at
