Excerpt from The Role of the Research Museums, Vol. 2: Hearing Before the Task Force on Science Policy of the Committee on Science and Technology, House of Representatives, Ninety-Ninth Congress, First Session, April 17, 1985

I appreciate the opportunity to appear before the Task Force today, to participate in your review of Federal science policy, and to talk specifically about museum-based research.

The research enterprise of the United States can be thought of as a house, the foundations of which are securely anchored by the building blocks of scientific inquiry pursued in universities, industrial laboratories, the Federal establishment, and museums. While the role of museum research is clearly of most interest to you today, my analogy is nonetheless purposeful in stressing the interdependence of these activities: if any of the blocks were allowed to crack or crumble, the essential structure of the entire research house would be weakened and in jeopardy.
