The ARS Quarterly Report, produced by the ARS Information Staff, provides
an up-to-date "snapshot" of current projects in the chief scientific
research agency of USDA. About 2,000
scientists in ARS conduct research at
more than 100 locations. At the end of each summary, one or more scientists
familiar with each research project are listed for further information. If the
scientists are unavailable, others at the same telephone number may also be
familiar with the work. For general questions or comments about this report,
contact Sean Adams, ARS Information, 6303 Ivy Lane, 4th Floor, Greenbelt, MD
20770; (301) 344-2723, e-mail sadams@asrr.arsusda.gov.
