- Abstract
The article reports on the revised fiscal 1982 federal budget by the administration of the U.S. President Ronald Reagan. The Reagan administration has cut some $48.6 billion from the revised fiscal 1982 federal budget so far, and the process has reportedly eliminated the National Science Foundation's science education programs, and drastically reduced funding for the behaviorial and social sciences. At the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the Science and Education Administration and Cooperative Extension Service, $3 million was cut from human nutrition research. It is stated that overall, agriculture research and extension activities reflected more than $20 million in increases, including $6.5 million for animal production research and $1.2 million for plant production research.
