the honorable kathryn d. sullivan, ph.d. … · independent research by refusing to disclose...

The Honorable Kathryn D. Sullivan, Ph.D.

Undersecretary of Commerce for Oceans and Atmosphere

Administrator, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration

1401 Constitution Ave NW, Room 5128

Washington, D.C. 20230

December 7, 2015

Dear Dr. Sullivan:

As scientists and technical experts, we thank you for standing up for scientific integrity and

independent research by refusing to disclose National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration

(NOAA) scientists' internal deliberations to House Science Committee Chairman Lamar Smith.

We know Chairman Smith's subpoena for the correspondence of NOAA scientists involved with

a peer-reviewed paper in Science is not about data access or seeking to learn more about the

study. We are aware that NOAA scientists already met several times with committee staff to

provide all data and methodology related to this work and answer numerous questions about the

research.

As you know, these actions can create a chilling effect on both federal scientists and any other

scientist with whom they collaborate or correspond. We urge you to continue to stand firm

against these bullying tactics in order to protect NOAA scientists' ability to pursue research and

publish data and results regardless of how contentious the issue may be.

Please continue to resist this dangerous abuse of congressional oversight power.

Sincerely,

The undersigned (587 signatories)

CC: Chairman Lamar Smith, Ranking Member Eddie Bernice Johnson, Secretary Penny Pritzker

Our political leaders don't always appreciate the great attention to

unbiased peer review etc. that NOAA, NSF, DoE, and the other

research agencies exhibit. Hang in there.

David Althoff

Ph.D., Ecology

Manlius, NY 13104-1406

Thank you for your stance on this issue. I know that the agency is

under tremendous pressure right now. The issue is extremely

important to continuing the integrity of science and I fully agree

with your position.

This denialism of strong scientific evidence for global climate

change and its human causes is unacceptable and morally

reprehensible.

William Blair

Towson, MD 21286-8220

Thank you for holding the line and helping to protect an

independent scientific capability for our country.

Jo Ellen Brandmeyer

Ph.D., Engineering

Chapel Hill, NC 27516-7767

I understand that the journal articles your scientists and engineers

publish go through rigorous, candid, and thoughtful review both

within your Agency and via the peer review process. Keep the

politics out of the scientific publication process.

Sandra Carroll

impeding scinetific progress.

John Cooper

Lewisburg, PA 17837-1436

Science is about the quest for truth, a quest that demagogues and

power-junkies seek to suppress and malign. Help keep the practice

open and above board, free from the influences of those who would

prevent or pervert it.

John Crusius

Ph.D., Earth Sciences

Seattle, WA 98115-7034

Be strong-- we support you 100%.

Mick Degraeve

professionals in the field, have an environmental stewardship

responsibility. So I applaud NOAA's scientists and you for standing

up to this kind of harassment. Thank you.

work together to keep science out of politics in the future.

Stephen Eittreim


Palo Alto, CA 94303-3112

I know you are helping all science in our nation's national labs from

becoming dominated by political agendas by your standing up for

the science done by your agency. As a retired USGS marine

geologist, I am acutely aware of these dangers.

David Fenner


Westford, MA 01886-2001

Those of us who are engaged in careers of research and science

greatly appreciate your defense of independent integrity. Science

can not function without independence to seek truth wherever it

may lead.

The only way scientists like us will ever be able to help the public

is if we stand firm against those in power with conflicts of interest.

Thank you for standing firm.

James Harris

Ph.D., Engineering

Stanford, CA 94305-1013

Stand firm. The good news about the intensity of the attacks is to

know that they are making a difference, otherwise these anti-

science Zealots would ignore you.

John Hayes

The behavior of some members of Congress, who don't respect how

science works, is utterly disgusting and unethical.

Jenny Walker

Thank you for not allowing the bullies to silence you. Perhaps,

Chairman Smith needs to report on his "alternative evidence" and

the science behind it.
