Unnecessary Oversight

July 1, 2013 | A version of this story appeared in Volume 91, Issue 26

The bill before Congress discussed in the editorial “Abandon That Bill” (C&EN, May 27, page 5) inspires this: The U.S. has, arguably, the strongest fundamental scientific research community in the world. The National Science Foundation is an important supporter of that research. How could adding a layer of oversight by the least functional legislative body in any of the Western democracies yield improvement?
