| Description | Questioning whether the Bush administration is manipulating science for political ends, Rep.

BLM acknowledged Monday that it asked OSU whether the three-year study led by graduate student Daniel Donato and published last month in the journal Science violated provisions of a $307,000 federal fire research grant that prohibits using any of the funds to lobby Congress and requires that a BLM scientist be consulted before the research is published.
Donald Kennedy, editor in chief of Science, has said editors at the magazine were responsible for including a reference to pending legislation in supplemental material posted online, and that the researchers had asked them to remove it. |
