Tom Coburn Amendment Limiting National Science Foundation Research
Funding Passes Senate
http://j.mp/Z3sWWY (Huffington)
"Adoption of this amendment is a gross intrusion into the
widely-respected, independent scholarly agenda setting process at
NSF that has supported our world-class national science
enterprise for over sixty years," the association said in a
statement. "The amendment creates an exceptionally dangerous
slippery slope. While political science research is most
immediately affected, at risk is any and all research in any and
all disciplines funded by the NSF. The amendment makes all
scientific research vulnerable to the whims of political
pressure."

An information and research control abomination by the Senate, in the
finest tradition of Stalinist thinking, Comrade Coburn.
