Republicans put 'national interest' requirement on US science agency
Proposed bill would require the National Science Foundation to justify
awards using criteria including economic competitiveness and national defence.

Lamar Smith, chairman of the House of Representatives science committee,
wants NSF grants to benefit the United States.
Associated Press
Key members of the US House of Representatives are calling for the National
Science Foundation (NSF) to justify every grant it awards as being in the
“national interest”. The proposal, which is included in a draft bill from the
Republican-led House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology that was
obtained by Nature, would force the NSF to document how its basic-science grants
benefit the country.
The requirement is similar to one in a discussion draft circulated in April
by committee chairman Lamar Smith (Republican, Texas). At the time, scientists
raised concerns that ‘national interest’ was defined much too narrowly. The
current draft bill provides a more expansive definition that includes six goals:
economic competitiveness, health and welfare, scientific literacy, partnerships
between academia and industry, promotion of scientific progress and national
defence.
Those criteria are in line with a ‘broader impacts’ assessment that the
NSF, based in Arlington, Virginia, already requires scientists to include in
their grant applications. But the bill, called the Frontiers in Innovation,
Research, Science, and Technology (FIRST) Act of 2013, would place an extra
burden on NSF programme directors by requiring them to publish justification for
each grant award on the foundation’s website. In a time of tight budgets, says a
Republican committee aide, research with a high return on investment should be
prioritized. “It is the role of a government official who is using federal funds
to provide the justification,” says the aide.
But former NSF programme director Scott Collins, a biologist at the
University of New Mexico in Albuquerque, questions whether the national-interest
provision is an appropriate use of NSF staff time. “Conducting cutting-edge
science is clearly in the national interest,” he says.

Others say that predicting the broader impacts of basic research is
tantamount to gazing into a crystal ball. John Bruer, president of the James S.
McDonnell Foundation in St Louis, Missouri, and former co-chair of an NSF task
force that examined broader impacts, thinks that the requirement should be
eliminated. He says that scientists often make something up to fill that space
on NSF grant applications because they cannot predict what will come of their
work. “All scientists know it’s nonsense,” says Bruer.
Budget numbers are conspicuously absent from the draft bill, which would
reauthorize the America COMPETES Act of 2007, a key funding bill for the NSF and
other agencies that support physical-sciences research. That bill, reauthorized
for the first time in 2010, aimed to double the budgets of the NSF, the National
Institute of Standards and Technology in Gaithersburg, Maryland, and the
Department of Energy’s Office of Science in Washington DC.
Although the original America COMPETES Act was enacted with broad support,
Congress has never appropriated enough money to match the authorization. And
hopes for boosting US science funding have been dashed both by the government
shutdown in October and by sequestration, which incurred across-the-board budget
cuts that began in March.
With the Republican-controlled House and the Democrat-controlled Senate
still negotiating a budget for the remainder of the 2014 fiscal year, the FIRST
bill avoids funding issues and focuses on policy. It emphasizes the pursuit of
translational research in federal science agencies, and partnership with private
funding sources. That does not sit well with the NSF’s core mission of basic
science, says Michael Lubell, director of public affairs at the American
Physical Society in Washington DC. The bill would also ban NSF grantees who
deliberately misrepresent data from receiving new NSF awards for 10 years.
Some of the bill’s controversial prescriptions may not survive an encounter
with a Senate version of the reauthorization. The House committee will hold a
hearing on the draft bill on 13 November. Nature doi:10.1038/nature.2013.14102
well, we know how republicans think about testing for mad cow type TSE

National Interest there from, they don’t think, they COVER UP AT ALL COST, just
ask GW and or slick rick perry. mad cow type disease has never ever been a
national interest to the USDA, other than when the USDA was considered BSE FREE

fabricated by the USDA, with the help of the OIE. please let me show you. ...as

Rick Perry, Texas, and Mad Cow Disease--12 Years of Lies
By Terry S. Singeltary Sr. August 28, 2011 Straight to the Source
For related articles and more information, please visit OCA's Mad Cow
Disease page.
I am sure that most of you are aware of the Texas mad cow cases that were
covered up. the 1st documented cover-up was successful, the second documented
case of mad cow in Texas would have been successful, but after literally, an act
of Congress to override Austin, Texas officials (rick perry), only after the
Honorable Fong of the OIG, and scientist all over the world, and a few others,
including myself wrote to the OIG about said cover-up, and 7 months later, did
they finally retest that covered-up highly suspect mad cow, and said covered up
mad cow was finally _confirmed_ by Weybridge as a confirmed Texas BSE mad cow
case. this 7 months after the fact on a Government BSE REDBOOK regulations of a
48 turn around on said test. over course this was all done for a reason, the BSE
MRR policy was being put into place while all this was going on, and Heaven
forbid if rick perry would have had a confirmed BSE mad cow case while those
regulations were over riding the BSE GBR risk assessments. however, during all
this political science on mad cow disease, it was nothing more than a crap
shoot, and 15 years later, we now know that some of the sporadic CJD cases are
indeed tied to the atypical BSE cases here in North America. How many people
during the Bush/Perry era, how many did they needlessly expose to mad cow
disease? how many will go clinical and die in the decades to come? Whether or
not you dare care, during the Bush/Perry era, they exposed our kids to mad cow
disease, by feeding them dead stock downer cows via the NSLP, for over 4 years.
DEAD STOCK DOWNER COWS ARE THE MOST HIGH RISK COW FOR MAD COW DISEASE. WHO will
watch the children for the next 5 decades for CJD ???

ANOTHER sad day for sound science. instead, we will be awash in more
corporate bought off junk science, which is where we are with politics today,
corporate and bought off. so, no better place to start off with is the
Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathies i.e. the TSE prion aka mad cow type
disease (you did not think that it was all gone and or eradicated did you$), but
if you see from what the USDA/OIE inc did, they just changed the science to
where these TSE prion disease aka mad cow type disease are not a TRADE BURDON,
where the TSE prions are now a LEGAL TRADING COMMODITY, where it’s legal for
these TSE prion disease to just tag right along with the commodities in which
they may be exposed too. face it world, as humans, as a society, we have failed,
we have let the corporate world take over our societies, our governments, and
just about every thing else. I have watched the mad cow follies daily since
1997, and what I witnessed, especially since that fateful day December 23, 2003,
when the USDA inc lost it’s gold card, i.e. BSE FREE status (which the USA never
was BSE free before that day, the USDA just managed to keep the mad cows from
ever being documented until that day), but that day in Dec. 2003, the BSE mad
cow science changed forever, just because the USA lost it’s BSE gold card. from
that day forward, BSE aka mad cow junk science was the normal for the USDA et
al, and every other country that went by the OIE BSE TSE guidelines.
SO, where does this leave us with a slow incubating TSE prion disease,
that once goes clinical, is 100% fatal, a disease that is spreading in many
species, including humans, mutating, becoming more virulent with some of these
variants of the TSE prion diseases that have emerged?
let me kindly try to explain my dire concerns with the USDA et al new junk
science policy on the mad cow type diseases aka TSE prion disease in humans and
animals...

Statement on Texas Cow With Central Nervous System Symptoms
On Friday, April 30th, the Food and Drug Administration learned that a cow
with central nervous system symptoms had been killed and shipped to a processor
for rendering into animal protein for use in animal feed.
FDA, which is responsible for the safety of animal feed, immediately began
an investigation. On Friday and throughout the weekend, FDA investigators
inspected the slaughterhouse, the rendering facility, the farm where the animal
came from, and the processor that initially received the cow from the
slaughterhouse.
FDA's investigation showed that the animal in question had already been
rendered into "meat and bone meal" (a type of protein animal feed). Over the
weekend FDA was able to track down all the implicated material. That material is
being held by the firm, which is cooperating fully with FDA.
Cattle with central nervous system symptoms are of particular interest
because cattle with bovine spongiform encephalopathy or BSE, also known as "mad
cow disease," can exhibit such symptoms. In this case, there is no way now to
test for BSE. But even if the cow had BSE, FDA's animal feed rule would prohibit
the feeding of its rendered protein to other ruminant animals (e.g., cows,
goats, sheep, bison)...

Owner and Corporation Plead Guilty to Defrauding Bovine Spongiform

An Arizona meat processing company and its owner pled guilty in February
2007 to charges of theft of Government funds, mail fraud, and wire fraud. The
owner and his company defrauded the BSE Surveillance Program when they falsified
BSE Surveillance Data Collection Forms and then submitted payment requests to
USDA for the services. In addition to the targeted sample population (those
cattle that were more than 30 months old or had other risk factors for BSE), the
owner submitted to USDA, or caused to be submitted, BSE obex (brain stem)
samples from healthy USDA-inspected cattle. As a result, the owner fraudulently
received approximately $390,000. Sentencing is scheduled for May 2007.

2009 UPDATE ON ALABAMA AND TEXAS MAD COWS 2005 and 2006
CDC DR. PAUL BROWN TSE EXPERT COMMENTS 2006
The U.S. Department of Agriculture was quick to assure the public earlier
this week that the third case of mad cow disease did not pose a risk to them,
but what federal officials have not acknowledged is that this latest case
indicates the deadly disease has been circulating in U.S. herds for at least a
decade.
The second case, which was detected last year in a Texas cow and which
USDA officials were reluctant to verify, was approximately 12 years old.
These two cases (the latest was detected in an Alabama cow) present a
picture of the disease having been here for 10 years or so, since it is thought
that cows usually contract the disease from contaminated feed they consume as
calves. The concern is that humans can contract a fatal, incurable,
brain-wasting illness from consuming beef products contaminated with the mad cow
pathogen.
"The fact the Texas cow showed up fairly clearly implied the existence of
other undetected cases," Dr. Paul Brown, former medical director of the National
Institutes of Health's Laboratory for Central Nervous System Studies and an
expert on mad cow-like diseases, told United Press International. "The question
was, 'How many?' and we still can't answer that."
Brown, who is preparing a scientific paper based on the latest two mad cow
cases to estimate the maximum number of infected cows that occurred in the
United States, said he has "absolutely no confidence in USDA tests before one
year ago" because of the agency's reluctance to retest the Texas cow that
initially tested positive.
USDA officials finally retested the cow and confirmed it was infected
seven months later, but only at the insistence of the agency's inspector
general.
"Everything they did on the Texas cow makes everything USDA did before
2005 suspect," Brown said. ...snip...end

Brown is Senior Research Scientist in the Laboratory of Central Nervous System
... Address for correspondence: Paul Brown, Building 36, Room 4A-05, ...
In this context, a word is in order about the US testing program. After the
discovery of the first (imported) cow in 2003, the magnitude of testing was much
increased, reaching a level of >400,000 tests in 2005 (Figure 4). Neither of
the 2 more recently indigenously infected older animals with nonspecific
clinical features would have been detected without such testing, and neither
would have been identified as atypical without confirmatory Western blots.
Despite these facts, surveillance has now been decimated to 40,000 annual tests
(USDA news release no. 0255.06, July 20, 2006) and invites the accusation that
the United States will never know the true status of its involvement with BSE.
In short, a great deal of further work will need to be done before the
phenotypic features and prevalence of atypical BSE are understood. More than a
single strain may have been present from the beginning of the epidemic, but this
possibility has been overlooked by virtue of the absence of widespread Western
blot confirmatory testing of positive screening test results; or these new
phenotypes may be found, at least in part, to result from infections at an older
age by a typical BSE agent, rather than neonatal infections with new "strains"
of BSE. Neither alternative has yet been investigated.

Evaluation of the Zoonotic Potential of Transmissible Mink Encephalopathy
We previously described the biochemical similarities between PrPres
derived from L-BSE infected macaque and cortical MM2 sporadic CJD: those
observations suggest a link between these two uncommon prion phenotypes in a
primate model (it is to note that such a link has not been observed in other
models less relevant from the human situation as hamsters or transgenic mice
overexpressing ovine PrP [28]). We speculate that a group of related animal
prion strains (L-BSE, c-BSE and TME) would have a zoonotic potential and lead to
prion diseases in humans with a type 2 PrPres molecular signature (and more
specifically type 2B for vCJD)
snip...
***Together with previous experiments performed in ovinized and bovinized
transgenic mice and hamsters [8,9] indicating similarities between TME and
L-BSE, the data support the hypothesis that L-BSE could be the origin of the TME
outbreaks in North America and Europe during the mid-1900s.

IT is of my opinion, that the OIE and the USDA et al, are the soul reason,

diseases, including typical and atypical BSE, typical and atypical Scrapie, and
all strains of CWD, and human TSE there from, spreading around the globe.
I have lost all confidence of this organization as a regulatory authority
on animal disease, and consider it nothing more than a National Trading
Brokerage for all strains of animal TSE, just to satisfy there commodity. AS i
said before, OIE should hang up there jock strap now, since it appears they will
buckle every time a country makes some political hay about trade protocol,
commodities and futures. IF they are not going to be science based, they should
do everyone a favor and dissolve there organization.
JUST because of low documented human body count with nvCJD and the long
incubation periods, the lack of sound science being replaced by political and
corporate science in relations with the fact that science has now linked some
sporadic CJD with atypical BSE and atypical scrapie, and the very real threat of
CWD being zoonosis, I believed the O.I.E. has failed terribly and again, I call
for this organization to be dissolved. ...
