Re: Senator Hutchison Is Correct

The good senator from Texas makes all the sense in the world in her queries about the reasons for the National Science Foundation's (NSF) funding of research in social sciences. There are none! These monies should be used in their entireties for research in basic and clinical science, for the benefit of all U.S. taxpayers whose funds they are. What we need most of all is funding for young scientists so that we do not lose their creativity to other fields in which they can earn their livings. These young people represent the future of America's innovation and their work must be supported.
