OVERVIEW OF SELECTED WRITINGS by Robert G. Myers

This overview of writings is intended to help those interested in selecting material that may be of direct interest. All of the material that is listed in this overview may be found in the Library of documents and may not only be cited (giving proper credit) but also copied for personal use and sharing with others.

The writings of Robert Myers span more than 50 years. However, the material presented is of more than historical interest, dealing with issues, options, program models, and policies that are still at the center of debates being held in 2020.
