2. BUSH SPOTLIGHT ON SCIENCE? THINK AGAIN. Informed sources report that President-Elect Bush, at the urging of a close Texas technologist, plans to split the Office of Science and Technology Policy and appoint two separate presidential advisors, one for science and one for technology. Two prominent university presidents have reportedly turned down offers for the science advisor slot. No wonder! This prompted former GOP Science Advisors D. Allan Bromley and Edward David, as well as APS President George Trilling, to caution the Bush-Cheney team that cleaving S&T would be disastrous policy. WN Readers can weigh in by writing Vice-President-Elect Cheney at the Bush/Cheney Transition Office, 1800 G Street, NW, Washington, DC 20006.
