It is the sense of Congress that— independent, impartial science and the scientific process should inform and guide public policy decisions on a wide range of issues, including improvement of public health, protection of the environment, and protection of national security; the public must be able to trust the science and scientific process informing public policy decisions; science, the scientific process, and the communication of science should be free from political, ideological, or financial influence; and policies and procedures that ensure the reliable conduct and communication of publicly funded science are critical to ensuring public trust.
