For FY 2005 Implementation of ABC, DOI will combine Collect Data and
Manage/Distribute Data into a single Work Activity (Collect, Manage and
Distribute Data)

USGS needs to distinguish between Collect and Manage Information

**Why manage data? If not, would have to recollect(duplicate effort)
and/or would have no ability to detect change/determine status and
trends.**

**Why Archive? \"The farther backward you can look, the farther forward
you can see.\" Winston Churchill**
