Dear Colleagues, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi was interviewed yesterday on National Public Radio's "Morning Edition" program. The topic of the interview was on the upcoming SCHIP (State Children's Health Insurance Program) vote and the wider legislative agenda. Describing the economic stimulus package, she repeated her oft-heard mantra on the priorities for this new Congress: "If you want four words to describe this, it's Science, Science, Science, and Science" The 5 minute interview can be found on NPR's website at: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=99321116 Click on the "Listen Now" link to play. At a meeting of national leaders in politics, business, research and education held at Princeton on December 15, 2008, she said "We stand by this as the most important investment that we can make in health and education and energy independence, job creation and the defense of America," but warned that supporters of science must become active advocates for science research funding.
