Obama: “I will never sanction any attempt to subvert the work of scientists.”

In an October 20 letter to the President of the American Federation of Government Employees, Barack Obama said: “In an Obama Administration, the principle of scientific integrity will be absolute.  I will never sanction any attempt to subvert the work of scientists.”  We don’t recall President Bush making such a statement.  The letter discussed the importance of the Environmental Protection Agency in an Obama administration.
