What were the EPA and NASA formed as?
mafiozo [28]

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>The EPA and NASA were formed as an </em><u><em>executive agency </em></u>

<u><em></em></u>

<u>Explanation:</u>

NASA was shaped in 1958 when Congress passed the National Aeronautics Act while EPA describes the Protection of Environmental Agency. President Richard Nixon formed it in 1970 through an official request.

Both the EPA and NASA were framed as official organizations under the influence and backing of the U.S. Government. This implies they work under the offices in mid-1970, because of increased open worries about breaking down city air, common regions covered with garbage, and urban water supplies tainted with risky debasements.

Next, you’ll compare the speeches by Lewis and Lincoln. Begin by recording each author’s purpose, audience, and overall message
DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

It is rather for us, the living, we here be dedicated to the

great task remaining before us —that, from these

honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause

for which they here, gave the last full measure of

devotion—that we here highly resolve these dead shall

not have died in vain; that the nation, shall have a new

birth of freedom, and that government of the people by

the people for the people, shall not perish from the earth.

But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate---we can not consecrate---

we can not hallow---this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who

struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add

or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say

here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living,

rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who

fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be

here dedicated to the great task remaining before us---that from

these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for

which they gave the last full measure of devotion---that we here

highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain---that this

nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom---and that

government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not

perish from the earth.
