Re: 	RFF In The News

As one means of keeping the Board more informed about the increased
attention being paid to RFF in the press, we are attaching an excerpt
from RFF In The News.  It is a rolling update of when, where, and in
what context RFF scholars and RFF publications are cited by the media.
We have created this evolving tracking mechanism and are still tweaking
it to comprehensively capture citations of RFF in the print and
electronic press, at a reasonable cost, and in a manner that is useful
both internally and in promoting RFF via the Web.

We would welcome your reactions.
