Clinton's farewell gift to US science agencies

Article Abstract:

President Bill Clinton's budget for 2001 would boost funding for the National Science Foundation by 17% to $4.6 billion, while the National Institutes of Health would see a 6% rise in its funding to $18.8 billion. Spending on non-weapons research and development at the Dept of Energy would rise by 15% to $4.2 billion, with spending at space agency NASA rising by 6% to $5.2 billion. The budget as a whole has not been warmly welcomed by Congress, as it would boost overall government spending by 4% above previously negotiated limits.

Election impasse leaves science in the dark

Article Abstract:

The lack of a result in the US 2000 presidential race, as well as the uncertainty about which party will control the Senate, means uncertainty about who will be in control of the government's science policy when the new presidency begins in January 2001. Sherwood Boehlert, a New York Republican who is in favour of environmental protection, will probably take over chairmanship of the Science Committee, which controls most non-biomedical research programmes.
