or send a fax (516) 897-9185.  The e-mail address is an autoresponder,
and you should receive your first sample immediately.

You will receive two versions--an ascii and binary (Wordperfect)
version. The ascii version is more easily read but less visually
appealing.  Many  recipients have difficulties translating the
binary files.

This is not a list. You will receive 6 to 9 mailings, and none
thereafter, unless you subscribe.

If you have already obtained samples feel free to do so again.
We have gotten bigger and better.

You can also obtain additional information from our web site
currently located at 

                http://people.delphi.com/kenacks/

The site, which is under construction, currently features a text version
of the April, 1996 newsletter, a large number of valuable links,
and a statement of purpose.

A database of previous issues created by the U.S. EPA's Economy and
Environment Division is located at http://www.epa.gov/docs/oppe/eaed/eedhmpg.htm



Recent court decisions, state and federal legislation, and regulatory
orders indicate that measures of costs, benefits and risks will be
required to justify public and private actions.  ENVIRONMENTAL DAMAGE
VALUATION AND COST BENEFIT NEWS is an indispensable source of
information for estimating risks, maximizing gains, and minimizing
losses.

What is the value of lungs damaged by pollution? of the spotted owl's
existence? of a contaminated property? of wetlands? of a building
polluted by PCB's? of a life lost to cancer? of water rendered
unavailable for drinking or for fishing? of a new job? and of peace and
quiet?  ENVIRONMENTAL DAMAGE VALUATION AND COST BENEFIT NEWS will help
you to answer these questions, to evaluate risks, to resolve disputes,
to pursue optimal regulations, and to estimate the outcomes of trials.

EDV&CBN does this by bringing you the latest information on the
valuation of damages from the courts, from government agencies, from the
academic literature, from unpublished studies, from daily newspapers,
from legal publications, from professional newsletters, and from on-line
services to provide you with the latest information in this rapidly
changing field.

We also welcome information from your organization which may be
appropriate for inclusion in our newsletter, which has subscribers in
ten nations and has been requested by more than 7,000 people.
