As early as last December, the White House sought to restrict the publication of unclassified information it deemed of potential use to enemies(WN 22 Feb 02). Now, the Pentagon is on the verge of barring scientists from disclosing results of any DOD funded research, even if the information is basic and unclassified, unless they apply for and are granted specific authorization. The new regulations are currently undergoing final review. The APS opposes any impediment to the free exchange of unclassified scientific information: http://www.aps.org/statements/83.2.html For archives see: http://www.interesting-people.org/archives/interesting-people/
