Earth- and Mars-crossing asteroids and comets?

Hello,

I don't know if anybody has asked this earlier, but I'd appreciate it
if somebody could point me to the right direction.

I am trying to find the number of currently known small solar system
bodies (asteroids, comets, etc), whose orbits cross those of Earth and
/ or Mars. Also the other characteristics of such objects are of
interest to me.

Preferrably this could be an organized table file where I could just
choose the bodies which cross the min or max distances of either of
the two planets.

I found the Minor Planet Center web page where the data ought to be
( http://cfa-www.harvard.edu/iau/mpc.html ) but I don't seem to find
what I need from there... it may be there, but I just can't find it.
:/

Additionally, if somebody has done recent calculations/ papers on
the subject, a reference would be veeeery nice...

Thanks in advance,

Jarmo

Do you believe in astrology? Jupiter exerts less gravitational influence
over a human body than does an angry rhino less than two meters away...

At the MPC page you give, clink on the link that says "Various lists
and plots". you'll get 3 more links: Comets, Minor Planets,
Miscellaneous. Have fun.

Would this help? Its the NASA site devoted to NEAR EARTH OBJECTS. Check it
out.
