Talk to Dean Baker, Frank Muller, or Andy Hoerner at EPI
(economic@xxxxxxxx).  Obviously check out Herman Daly and Robert
Costanza (latter is at U of Md.).  If you're in DC tomorrow (the
24th, Thursday), come to a brown-bag at EPI given by Costanza.  There
was a president's Commission on Sustainable Development (Dean was on
it) which did reports or statements of some kind.

Cheers,
