There isn’t a specific minimum number of sources needed, however please only use source that can either be sent to me or access for free. Any sources that I need to pay to see can’t be used.

choose a pressing environmental, social or economic issue that the US Department of Commerce faces. You should structure your paper according to the following format:

Section I – Background

Describe the issue and summarize the economic/political/scientific background clearly and succinctly (pretend you are writing for an intelligent layperson). Is this a new issue, or an ongoing problem? Why? What are the causes of the problem, environmental/social/political/economic?

Section II – Analysis

Describe why the issue you have selected is important to the well being of the person/agency/government? Why should the recipient of your memo address this issue as soon as possible? Provide hard facts, not vague generalizations or predictions of doom.

Section III – Options

What sorts of options does your person/agency/government have in dealing with this issue? (“Do Nothing” may be an option as well.) List the pros and cons of each option, scientific, environmental, economic, and political/social – again, be specific.

Section IV – Recommendation

Which option do you recommend and why? How would you mitigate that option’s negatives?

If there is confusion on anything please let me know and I will try to clear anything up ASAP. Thank you.
