Provided in these hearings on science in the political process are the testimony and prepared statements of: Thomas L. Haskell; Robert L. Sproull; John R. Silber; Robert M. Rosenzweig; and Daniel J. Kevles. Also included are questions asked of these individuals as well as their answers, and, when applicable, supporting documentation. Among the areas addressed are: implications of the science/political process issue for federal policy regarding science and higher education; cases of attempts to obtain science facilities for individual universities through the political process (where conflict between political and scientific judgements seems to have taken place); the proper role of experts and specialists in making policy that has significant scientific content; and under what conditions should congress and/or the scientific community use criteria such as regional economic growth, specific health needs, and agricultural crop needs in making decisions for science policy.
