What we do not want to do, Mr. Chairman, is, we do not want to include a provision in this bill that will put scientific debate in the middle of personnel issues for the Federal Government. We do not want to put the results of scientific research, we don't want to take that out of the grasp of debate by policymakers for fear of retaliation by scientists and researchers who are doing work for the Federal Government. Mr. Chairman, this is good public policy to have this amendment, to take this section out of the bill; and I would urge my colleagues to support this amendment.
