Editor’s Note
In the coming days, Congress will be acting on appropriations bills for the coming fiscal year. The consequences for science and technology are profound.
As a result, the Digest is departing from its usual format of summarizing the news to present opinions on the budget battle from: Allan Bromley, the presidential science adviser in the Bush Administration; John Podesta, President Clinton’s Chief of Staff; and, Representative James Sensenbrenner (R-WI), chair of the House
Science Committee.
Dr. Bromley’s article originally appeared in the Washington Post. Our thanks to them for permission to reprint it.
Due to the length of Mr. Podesta’s remarks, we have condensed the speech he originally made at the National Press Club. His full speech can be found on the White House’s home page at http://www.whitehouse.gov
