September 20,1996Dear Sanetters

I am a Japanese Extension Agent in Nagano prefecture. My name is M.Takita.
Now I am studying roles of Extension Agents in environment policy.

If you have any information about roles of American Extension Agents in
environment policy such as Conservation Reserve Program(CRP)by USDA, I would
appreciate if you give me such information.

If Extension Agents have no relation with environment policy(CRP), who do
farmers take technical support from in converting environmentally sensitive
cropland to approved conservation uses on the Conservation Program?

Do you have any information about United States Environmental Agency in USA?
If you have it, please give me the information such as its role, number and
location of offices, number of staff etc.

Best regards,

Masaki Takita
Extension Agent
Kamiina Extension Office
Nagano, Japan
