Science, The Endless Frontier (1945): Difference between revisions

Bush states that scientific progress is essential for (1) the war against disease via extended government financial support to basic medical research in U.S. medical schools and universities, (2) national security via military research during peacetime, supported by a civilian-controlled organization with funds from Congress and close liaison with the U.S. Army and Navy, and (3) public welfare via a plentiful number of men and women trained in science, strengthened centers of basic research, where creative scientific exploration can flourish with minimal pressure for immediate, tangible results.
