Attached please find the report entitled "Children in Out-of-Home Care in Wisconsin: 1988 through 1994." This report was created by Dr. Mark Courtney, MSW, and Ms. Linda Park, MSSW, of the UW-Madison School of Social Work, under a contract with this Department, with the assistance of Department staff.
Dr. Courtney and Ms. Park are currently assisting us in updating this report with 1995 data and preparing more in-depth analyses of specific topics covered in the report. We would hope to have some of that additional material available in the next several months.
I hope that you find this information helpful.

The Honorable, The Senate:
I am pleased to present you with a copy of the Wisconsin Acid Deposition Research Council's (WADRC) Fifth Biennial Report titled,
A Status Report of Acid Rain Research in Wisconsin, which is being submitted pursuant to s.
16.02(2). This report summarizes the results of the Council's highly successful ten-year effort and announces a new public/private partnership to continue environmental monitoring in Wisconsin.
As the 1996 Biennial Report indicates, Wisconsin continues to lead the nation in acid deposition policy, research and monitoring activities. For example, in 1994, sulfur dioxide emissions from Wisconsin's major electric utilities totaled 192,093 tons, which is a 62 percent reduction from 1980 levels. This is 23 percent below the goal of 250,000 tons established in s.
144.388(2)(b). As a result, the acidity of rainfall and snow statewide fell an average of 50 percent during this period. This has led to a greater quality of life for all Wisconsin residents.
The WADRC, which is attached to the Department of Administration, was impaneled in May of 1986. Its seven members represent industry, electric utilities, environmental organizations, academia and state government.
Should you have question or wish to discuss this report, I may be contacted at 608/266-7257
Sincerely,
Nathaniel E. Robinson, Chair
