Abstract
As if scientists haven't heard enough bad news on the fiscal year 1996 budget, Senate and House Republicans led by Pete V. Domenici (R‐N.M.) and John Kasich (R‐Ohio), respectively, released their plans last week to balance the federal budget by the year 2002, as promised. To save about $960 billion from current spending levels, the Senate plan would eliminate, among other federal programs, the Commerce Department, trim $6.7 billion from the Science, Space and Technogology budget, which includes NASA, Department of Energy research programs, and National Science Foundation (NSF), reduce National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration expenditures, and get rid of the National Biological Service.
