"Paper. Folio. [14] pp., [50] pp. Don Alonso Ramírez was the past choir master of Popayán, Colombia, and his nephew Diego Ramírez Carrillo gave him power of attorney to his (Diego's) last will and testament and to compile the requisite inventory of the estate. María de la Puente, widow of Diego is appointed the tutor and guardian of Diego's and her minor children. The will is very standard with bequests for masses, etc. The inventory of possessions is lengthy and very detailed, showing Diego to have been a man of some wealth. Contemporaneous certified copy of the original document. Written in a clear notarial hand, but with bleed-through in the inventory, making reading slightly challenging — not, impossible. Very good condition. " Penafiel, Spain

Summary
-
The following is a comparison of four acid rain control bills: S. 95 (Kerry), S. 300 (Stafford), S. 316 (Proxmire), and S. 3221 (Mitchell). The comparison is focused on prominent features of the various bills, not on section by section similarities and differences among the bills. Also, apparently non-controversial aspects of the bills, such as penalties for non-compliance, were not included. The bills are compared in the order in which they were introduced. There are two important notes about this comparison. First, as each bill would amend the Clean Air Act, section number references made in this analysis are made to relevant sections of the Clean Air Act. Second, under general provisions, issues raised are in rank order as they appear in various bills. They are not ordered according to importance. For the reader's convenience, the headings used in this comparison are arranged so that the bills may be placed side-by-side, if so desired.

Air pollutant-induced stress to forest ecosystems: An overview of forest damage
-

1986

Summary
-
In recent years the term "acid rain" has captured the attention of the American public as a possible cause of forest damage and decline. As research progresses, it appears that the adverse impacts of "acid rain" on forest ecosystems are more complex and not as well understood as they generally are for aquatic ecosystems. Different types of air pollution -- including but not limited to precursors of acid deposition -- alone or in combination with stress factors, may pose a wide range of threats to forest ecosystems. This report examines the extent of forest damage and decline in the United States, the dynamics of the forest ecosystem and the major hypotheses put forth by the scientific community to explain the role of air pollutants in forest declines. The report concluded that the forest decline debate must take into account a wider range of pollutants than are usually included in legislative proposals which emphasize sulphur dioxide emissions.
