Comments on: Depoliticizing Science: Bring Back the OTA http://www.smugbaldy.com/2007/07/06/depoliticizing-science-bring-back-the-ota/ It's hard to think when you're not used to it. Sun, 14 Mar 2010 00:04:21 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.7 hourly 1 By: Michael http://www.smugbaldy.com/2007/07/06/depoliticizing-science-bring-back-the-ota/comment-page-1/#comment-3965 Michael Wed, 23 Jul 2008 15:07:23 +0000 http://www.smugbaldy.com/?p=76#comment-3965 Thanks for speaking out on the OTA. I'd like to tell you about a new website that was launched today by the Federation of American Scientists. The OTA Archive ( at <a href="http://fas.org/ota" target="_blank" ref="nofollow" rel="nofollow">http://fas.org/ota</a>) allows the public to access over 720 reports and documents produced by OTA during its 23 year history. In the video section there is a new interview with Congressman Rush Holt, who explains why he has been leading the effort to revive OTA. He also describes some current policy issues that OTA could address. The archive will track efforts to bring back the OTA, and individuals can subscribe to receive RSS feeds or email updates as new material is posted. FAS recently received hundreds of historical documents about OTA that have not been available to the public previously, and plan to highlight them in a regular “Document of the Day” feature. The website also includes a new search engine that allows users to quickly and easily find specific content in OTA reports. This piece on the OTA has already been linked to by our site. We’d appreciate it if you would visit the OTA Archive today and publicize it on your blog. FAS will be happy to host or link to any additional documents or commentary related to the OTA.
