Bruce Babbitt, in a speech to the annual meeting of the American Association
for the Advancement of Science, on Feb 14, equated the move to kill USGS and
other science agencies to 'book burning.'  The article describing this is in
today's New York Times, p. A-16.
 
I have a call in to his office, dont know his email, to obtain a copy of this
paper, and any other position statements he has on USGS.
