Report on a study to develop a plan for Texas state voice and data communication networks: "The objective of this study was to develop a plan which defines the alternatives whose cost/performance exceeds that of the existing networks and recommends the functional requirements for the most attractive system" (p. 2).

Photomicrographs of 59 rock thin sections from shallow sandstone-type deposits in Eocene rocks mined from the Red Desert in south-central Wyoming (see pages 395-402 of report).

Abstract: "An updated geologic reconnaissance map was prepared of the vicinity of Cypress Creek Dome, Mississippi, at a scale of 1:24,000. Compilaion of previous work, field mapping, and heavy material analyses were used to prepare the map."

Abstract: "A geologic reconnaissance map was prepared of the supradomal area of Keechi Dome, Texas, at a scale of 1:24,000. To do this, available data were compiled, and field checking and new mapping were done where access was permitted."

Abstract: "A geologic reconnaissance map was prepared of the supradomal area of Richton Dome, Mississippi, on a scale of 1:24,000. To do this, previous work was compiled and consolidated, and field mapping and heavy mineral analyses took place."

Abstract: "A geologic reconnaissance map was prepared in the area of Vacherie Dome at a scale of 1:24,000. To do this, the available data were compiled, resistivity surveys were conducted, and reconnaissance field mapping took place. Then all the information was consolidated for the map preparation."

Statistical report about various data collected on Texas state colleges and universities during fiscal year 1982 such as enrollment, faculty, credit hours, facilities, state appropriations, and student loans.

Purpose and scope: The purpose of the study was to determine whether a thin layer of volcanic ash measurably affects aquatic environments. Study objectives were to: (1) Determine the amount of ash initially deposited in Big Creek basin and the amount remaining 1 year after the eruption, and (2) describe the impact of ash on water quality and benthic invertebrate communities.

This policy covers the United States Arctic Science Policy. This policy is in response to the growing need of the United States for natural resources.

This report provides an overview of the dimensions of the problem of rising expenditures for hospital care, the reasons for rising hospital costs, general information on methods of controlling hospital costs and specific programs which have been developed, and some of the issues involved.

Quarterly newsletter from the University of Texas System Cancer Center, M.D. Anderson Hospital and Tumor Institute discussing cancer care and research to inform physicians.

The geothermal resource of southern Idaho as assessed by the U.S. Geological Survey in 1978 is large. Most of the known hydrothermal systems in southern Idaho have calculated reservoir temperatures of less than 150 C. Water from many of these systems is valuable for direct heat applications. A majority of the known and inferred geothermal resources of southern Idaho underlie the Snake River Plain. However, major uncertainties exist concerning the geology and temperatures beneath the plain. The largest hydrothermal system in Idaho is in the Bruneau-Grang View area of the western Snake River Plain with a calculated reservoir temperature of 107 C and an energy of 4.5 x 10 to the 20th power joules. No evidence of higher temperature water associated with this system was found. Although the geology of the eastern Snake River Plain suggests that a large thermal anomaly may underlie this area of the plain, direct evidence of high temperatures was not found. Large volumes of water at temperatures between 90 and 150 C probably exist along the margins of the Snake River Plain and in local areas north and south of the plain.

Annual report of statistics for oil and wells in Texas, documenting the number completed, drilled, and plugged.

Monthly compilation of statistics for oil and wells in Texas, documenting the number completed, drilled, and plugged.

This report discusses legislative issues regarding food stamp appropriations. Authorization for food stamp appropriations was to have expired at the end of FY82; in addition, the FY83-85 budget resolution assumed substantial savings in food stamps. As a result, and with the potential of an FY82 food stamp funding shortfall averted by the appropriation of a $1 billion supplemental, Congress acted to reauthorize appropriations and limit program costs in the 1982 budget reconciliation process.

Compilation of monthly reports from departments in the city of San Antonio, Texas providing statistics, project updates, and other information about services and activities.

This report provides background and discusses the inventory and disposal of public lands and other Federal property. For many years the Federal Government has operated under a statutory policy of retaining public domain lands and has disposed of the proceeds from the sale of surplus property other than by the reduction of the national debt. Under the present system, the Government disposes of some types of land when it is determined to be surplus to Government needs, or, in the case of public lands, when it is determined that the national interest would best be served by the sale or exchange of particular tracts of land.

Purpose: This investigation by the U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the Warminster Municipal Authority, has three purposes: (1) to determine how urbanization has affected ground water and low streamflow in Warminster Township and parts of the surrounding municipalities; (2) to describe the hydrologic system; and (3) to assess the availability of ground water.

This paper is divided into the following sections: (1) History of Federal Employment and Training Programs; (2) Reauthorization Issues; (3) Administration Legislative and Budget Proposals; and (4) Congressional Action.
