President Jerome Wiesner worries about the effects of the extraordinary amount of paper work required to obtain a federal grant. Usually the scientist, or his university, must fill out endless fact sheets crammed with trivial questions. OSHA wants a copy; the Defense Department requires five or six; HEW, DOE, EPA-all of the burgeoning flock of federal alphabet agencies-can and do demand a full response to their questions, or the grant is withheld...
