A visit to the Wasteland of federal scientific and technical information policy

Andrew A. Aines

Journal of the American Society for Information Science, 1984, vol. 35, issue 3, 179-184

Abstract: Long before the appearance of the Reagan Administration, whose expressed policy was and is the reduction of the Federal Government in all areas save national security, there has been what is almost a precipitous retreat from overall planning and management of Federal scientific and technical information. The exodus got underway during the Nixon Administration in the early 1970s, a few years before the science apparatus was banished from the White House by a president who became disenchanted with scientists, if not science. The problem was that the stiff‐necked men of science refused to bow down before the idols of political expediency.
