Abstract
Recent actions and statements by Congress and the White House make it clear that the controversy over university indirect cost rates, first raised by Rep. John D. Dingell (D‐Mich.) almost one year ago, will not be resolved in the near future.On January 29, the same day that the president's 1993 budget was released, Rep.
