3. BUDGET: ACADEMIC PORK GOES UP AS SCIENCE BUDGET GOES DOWN. What is going on in the House of Representatives? As former APS President D. Allan Bromley pointed out in a Washington Post op-ed on Thursday, House appropriators have slashed NASA science $678M; science at DOE is cut by $116M; and the NSF budget is $275M below the president's request. As if that weren't enough, a front page story in the New York Times on Tuesday, picking up on a WN story (WN 6 Aug 99), points out that a lot of what remains is earmarked for projects in the home districts of the appropriators without benefit of proposal submission or peer review.
