Rush Holt discusses the Office of Technology Assessment

The Office of Technology Assessment was established in 1972 to provide Congress with objective, non-partisan advice on science and technology issues. In a controversial move, Congress eliminated funding for OTA in 1995. The Federation of American Scientists recently sat down with Congressman Rush Holt, a former physicist representing the 12th District of New Jersey, to get his perspective on what OTA meant to Congress and the Nation.

He's an amazing person I wish there where more individuals like him in government - it's tragic that tabloid trash like Sarah Palin & Huckabee are taken seriously & given any air time at all considering the serious problems & challenges facing this nation in the 21st century - I think some of the best ways to combat climate change & our dependence on fossil fuels are through more funding for high end computing & ITER like projects - Rush Holt is in a position to influence those funding decisions

Rush Holt::: Definition.....

A hatched creature, (nearly human) that lacks any possible chance of understanding it is a laughing stock. It promotes the global warming hoax, massive spending and a blantant disregard for human life and the US Constitution. It liies continually, and is responsible for the misery and intentional destruction of America occurring in 2010. He is raw sewage floating in the clean mountain streams of America. In a vote between him and a chimp. I would take the chimp!

For all of the years we did have OTA, none in that organization raised the red flag about Public Law 91-171 and its relationship to HIV/AIDS. If you're serious about tax dollar funding of OTA, let's see what these scientists have to say about the biggest killer of Blacks around the world. Prove your worth because I haven't heard anything here that proves much worth.
