|
The National Science Foundation has been involved in birthing or looking
after many things we now take for granted, including the Internet.
Given that we seem to have endless amounts of money in this country for
highly dubious projects and pork, I'm sure Congress can cough up a few
extra bucks for the NSF.

Congressman Ehlers is circulating a memo to his colleagues in the House
of Representatives, asking them to add their names to a request to keep
NSF funded at a reasonable level. He points out that NSF funding
builds for the national future in many ways.
Readers in the US who are in favor of adequate funding of NSF should
contact their elected representatives and urge them to co-sign the
letter. A phone call or fax would help.
Copies of the memo and the joint letter are enclosed. They don't ask
for anything outrageous. In fact, they amounts sought won't even fix
the problems identified in recent reports (dismal acceptance rates,
problems in funding cybersecurity, etc). However, it would at least
keep the NSF from making deeper cuts in an already dismal budget.
