Bonior meets with Ukrainian officials

House Democratic Whip David E. Bonior (D-Mich.) met on July 13 with Dr. Kostiantyn Yartsev and Dr. Oleksander Kolodiazhnyi from the Ukrainian Land and Resource Management Center (ULRMC). At Rep. Bonior's suggestion, the Environmental Research Institute of Michigan, working with the Ukrainian National Association, had proposed a center in Ukraine to use satellite and remote sensing technology to improve sustainable development and land use. Last year Rep. Bonior secured a $5 million grant from the U.S. Agency for International Development to establish the ULRMC.
