Also, the draft plan is available on the Web at:
http://www.reeusda.gov/ree.htm/ree1.htm
along with an email link for comments, although I, too, recommend that you
link up with CSARE for coordination of sust ag community input. I attended
the Davis session last week, very interesting. They indicated that draft
strategic plans for the agencies under REE (CSREES, ARS, NASS & ERS) would
be forthcoming on the Web.
