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.

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.

Our Newest Printed Map: Principal Aquifers of the United States
This National Atlas map shows the distribution of the principal aquifers that supply ground water to the United States, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The aquifer that is shown in each geographic area is generally the uppermost principle aquifer for the area. Each principal aquifer is classified as one of five types of permeable geologic material: unconsolidated and semiconsolidated sand and gravel, sandstone, sandstone and carbonate-rock, and igneous and metamorphic-rock. The general distribution of glacial deposits that contain numerous productive aquifers in the north-central and northeastern parts of the conterminous United States is also shown. Major alluvial aquifers along main watercourses are also shown. The map measures 42- by 30-inches and is published at a scale of 1:5,000,000.

Bureau of Indian Affairs
The Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) responsibility is the administration and management of 55.7 million acres of land held in trust by the United States for American Indians, Indian tribes, and Alaska Natives. There are 562 federal recognized tribal governments in the United States. Developing forestlands, leasing assets on these lands, directing agricultural programs, protecting water and land rights, developing and maintaining infrastructure and economic development are all part of the agency's responsibility. In addition, the Bureau of Indian Affairs provides education services to approximately 48,000 Indian students. The BIA website as well as the BIA mail servers have been made temporarily unavailable due to the Cobell Litigation. Please continue to check from time to time.

Hurricane Mitch and Georges:
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.
