OSHA has agreed to work with ten park sites, which will later serve as models for the entire national park system. NPS Director Robert Stanton signed the agreement with Charles Jeffress, OSHA’s assistant secretary, at a ceremony on the steps of the Thomas Jefferson Memorial in Washington, D.C. on Oct. 6. “We are confident that this agreement will result in a far safer working environment for our employees, better employee training, and a more focused safety and health program,” Stanton said. “Central to our agreement with the NPS is the commitment to The Bureau of Land establish or improve the health and safety program at each site,” Jeffress added. “The benefits will accrue to all Park Management’s Remote SensingSupport Group at the Service employees.” National Interagency Fire Center accept an Environmental Achievement Award. 9 In recent years, the NPS has Parks Named in NPS-OSHA Agreement experienced the highest employee Cape Cod National Seashore, Maine; Fire Island National Seashore, New York; accident rates of all Interior National Capital Parks-Central, District of Columbia; Rock Creek Park, District of Yvonne Carswell knows Department bureaus.

    WYOMING ELECTION YEAR SURVEY, 1996 The Wyoming Election Year Survey (WEYS) is statewide telephone poll conducted biennially by the Survey Research Center under the sponsorship of the Department of Political Science and the College of Arts and Sciences. A total of 608 respondents (selected at random) were included in the 1996 WEYS. The number of respondents in the Post-Election Survey is slightly lower (N=521) because some respondents declined to participate in the second survey or could not be reached. The Pre-Election Survey was conducted in late September. The Post-Election Survey was conducted in November. For convenience, "no opinion," "don't know," "refused to answer," and "no response" have been combined into a single "don't know/no response" (DK/NR) category. Let's begin.

    anes_mergedfile_1992to1997_appendix_codebook.txt APPENDICES >> Study Design, Content, and Administration 1992 PRE-POST STUDY DESIGN The 1992 National Election Study entailed both a pre-election interview and a post-election re-interview. Approximately half of the 1992 cases are comprised of empaneled respondents who were first interviewed in the 1990 National Election Study and later in the 1991 Political Consequences of War Study. The other half of the cases are a freshly drawn cross-section sample. (Details of the sample design are given in "Sample Design of the 1992 Pre- and Post-Election Study", below.) The panel component of the study design provides an opportunity to trace how the changing fortunes of the Bush presidency, from the high levels of approval at the start of the Gulf War, through the decline after the onset of a recession, affected voting in the November 1992 presidential election. It also permits analysts to investigate the origins of the Clinton and Perot coalitions as well as changes in the public's political preferences over the two years preceding the 1992 election. Altogether, 2485 citizens were interviewed in the 9 weeks prior to the November 3, 1992 election. [Note: The original study Staff release of the 1992 National Election Study in April, 1993 contained 2,487 cases. See the note on "A Note on Deletion of Cases", below, for further information about the two cases deleted from this edition of the collection.] To permit analysis of the impact of the unfolding election campaign, a random half of the sample was released to the field on September 1 and the other half on October 1st.
