restoring the integrity of science

the united states has an impressive history of investing in the capabilities and respecting the independence of scientists. this legacy has brought us sustained economic progress, science-based public health policy, and unequalled scientific leadership within the global community.

however, actions by the bush administration threaten to undermine this legacy. on a wide range of issues, objective scientific analysis has been suppressed or distorted when it has failed to support the white house's political goals. the union of concerned scientists (ucs) has launched a major campaign to stop this misuse of science before it damages our health, safety, and environment.
