  10. Can anyone confirm what Sen. Grahm (Texas) said on CBS This Morning (7/30/92)?
  11. I believe that he said that governmental funding of science research has gone
  12. from a former (stable) 5% of the budget to 1.8% (1.6% without the SSC) under
  13. the current Congress.  He noted that this trend appears to be continuing.  I
  14. would also add that it is my impression that a smaller percentage of federal
  15. science funding is going to physics.  Does anyone have a source which confirms
  16. or refutes these facts?  Dale, what does your crystal ball have to say? :-)
