Extractions: Although Central America (including Belize Costa Rica El Salvador Guatemala Honduras Nicaragua , and Panama ) has limited energy resources, it is important to world energy markets as a transit center for oil (via the Panama Canal), and as a potential energy transit center between North and South America. Note: This information is latest available as of September 2003, and can change. BACKGROUND After spending most of the early 1990s recovering from authoritarian rule or civil wars in Guatemala, El Salvador, Nicaragua and Panama, the Central American countries have begun efforts to improve their economies and cooperation through regional integration. Central American integration first began in 1951, when the Organization of Central American States (ODECA) was founded. The creations of the Central American Common Market, the Central American Bank for Economic Integration (CABEI) and the Secretariat for Central American Economic Integration followed in 1960. In 1973, ODECA was suspended and the integration process stalled. In 1993, a new integration program, the Central American Integration System (SICA), materialized and reinstated the integration process.

African American Freedom Fighters: Soldiers For Liberty African american Freedom Fighters The two superpowers were the central POWERS AUSTRIAHUNGARY, GERMANY, and the son of the first African american general, Benjamin O. Davis, Sr http://www.liunet.edu/cwis/cwp/library/aaffsfl.htm
Extractions: I NTRODUCTION This exhibit is not about war. It is about the zealous account of African Americans standing up and being counted as defenders of LIBERTY. This LIBERTY encompasses a vision of basic human rights connected with justice as accorded to all other peoples seeking freedom both inside and outside the territorial bounds of America. American history, at its best, is filled with records of the early colonial settlers searching for a place where the principles of freedom could be expressed and practiced. We are all familiar with the many written proposals, oral discourses, and constitutional provisions which evolved from their democratic ideas. The vibrancy of their words were later put into resolutions which were incorporated into our U. S. Constitution. The early settlers of America spent arduous hours creating a national document which would hopefully spell out the basic ingredients necessary to sustain a unified democracy within this land. From the beginning, these pioneers wanted to establish a worthy place free of restrictions which would not subvert or obstruct the basic foundations of a viable democratic society. Educational, political, social, and religious freedoms were some of the known necessities for the real American way of life in this new country.

USAID/LAC: Disaster Reconstruction the international efforts to assist the countries of central America and the Investment Corporation, the Department of State, and the general Accounting Office http://hurricane.info.usaid.gov/
Extractions: From Relief to Reconstruction USAID's Bureau for Latin America and the Caribbean had the lead role in administering U.S. reconstruction funds as a result of over $8 billion in 1998 hurricane damage for countries in Central America and the Caribbean. Activities focus primarily on economic recovery, transportation, public health, disaster mitigation, watershed management, housing, and schools. Striving to "build back better," the activities were premised on community participation and international donor coordination. The materials contained in this website relate primarily to the use of the $621 million CACEDRF funds, though there are references in these materials to additional U.S. funds: nearly $400 million in emergency assistance provided immediately after the disasters by the USAID Office of Foreign Disaster Assistance (OFDA), the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) and the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and another $80 million reprogrammed by USAID from existing resources. In sum, the U.S. Government provided over $1.1 billion as our share of the international efforts to assist the countries of Central America and the Caribbean recover from the disasters of 1998 and 1999. Moreover, USAID was successful in attracting U.S. architectural/engineering firms to design and oversee the construction of the extensive road and municipal water system activities.

Extractions: GEOGRAPHY: Honduras shares borders in the southeast with Nicaragua, in the west with Guatemala, and in the southwest with El Salvador. To the north lies the Caribbean and to the south the Pacific Ocean. The interior of the country comprises a central mountain system running from east to west, cut by rivers flowing into both the Caribbean and Pacific. The lowlands in the south form a plain along the Pacific coast. The Gulf of Fonseca in the southwest contains many islands which have volcanic peaks. The large fertile valleys of the northern Caribbean lowlands are cultivated with banana plantations. However, large areas of land in Honduras are unsuitable for cultivation. The majority of the population lives in the western half of the country, while the second-largest concentration of people is in the Cortés area which extends northwards from Lake Yojoa towards the Caribbean.
