Abstract	Written in late fall and early winter of 1978-79, the 12 papers in this collection provide a status report on various aspects of rural America and on governmental policies affecting rural America. The first paper examines terms commonly used in this area of public policy, revealing both the complexity of the issues and some of the contradictions inherent in a rural development policy. The second paper presents data for selected social and economic characteristics of non-metropolitan America. Six of the remaining papers deal with various aspects of service delivery, including health services, transportation, housing, and community facilities. One paper in this subject area evaluates rural educational problems, while another surveys rural labor markets and reviews federal programs aimed at rural manpower problems. Financing rural development is discussed in two papers, one describing need and resources and the other examining recent research findings and institutional changes. Of the final two papers, one deals with environmental protection and rural development, and the other describes local implementation of national rural development programs and policies. Appended is a document that describes rural community research and data needs. It discusses inherent difficulties in defining rural constituencies and communities and examines the rural oversight problem. (DS)
