Jeffrey Brainard How Sound Is Bush's 'Sound Science'?: Leading Scientists say the White House Distorts Research Data to Meet Its Policy Goals. (... More than 60 of the nation's top researchers, including 20 Nobel laureates, signed a report in late February charging that the [United States President George W.] Bush administration has misrepresented scientific findings--including those by academic researchers--to support its policies. The report, published by the Union of Concerned Scientists, also recounted unusual steps by the administration to block appointments of qualified scientists to advisory panels because the candidates opposed the president's policies ... On those issues and others, including global climate change, both the UCS and other scientists interviewed by The Chronicle assert that the Bush administration has repeatedly stated that the existing research is uncertain or inadequate in order to justify not taking action to correct problems. They see the president's insistence on more research before making some decisions related to science as motivated primarily by his desire to protect business and industry from the costs and changes suggested by scientific findings. Other keywords and phrases -- federal, government, public policy -- from the text of the article) Chronicle of Higher Education Volume 50, Number 26 (March 5, 2004): page A18.
