JOM: Volume 47, Number 6--June 1995



ABOUT THE COVER
One of the most hotly debated issues for the U.S. Congress is the role of government in science and technology. How much government is too much? How much is too little? This issue attempts to provide insight into these issues through Letters to the Editor, News & Update, and the governmental emphasis topic that begins on page 12. The cover photo of the U.S. Capitol was supplied by the U.S. House of Representatives' Office of Photography.
