これについては別途、メモランダムを発表した。政治的配慮で歪めてはいけないとしている。
It is the policy of my Administration to make evidence-based decisions guided by the best available science and data.Scientific and technological information, data, and evidence are central to the development and iterative improvement of sound policies, and to the delivery of equitable programs, across every area of government.
Scientific findings should never be distorted or influenced by political considerations.
When scientific or technological information is considered in policy decisions, it should be subjected to well-established scientific processes, including peer review where feasible and appropriate, with appropriate protections for privacy.
Improper political interference in the work of Federal scientists or other scientists who support the work of the Federal Government and in the communication of scientific facts undermines the welfare of the Nation, contributes to systemic inequities and injustices, and violates the trust that the public places in government to best serve its collective interests.
