But one year later, it appears that relatively little of the $50 million has been spent.According to Hammonds, money from the $50 million allocation has so far gone to data collection and analysis, the newly-established 120-person Harvard College Program for Research in Science and Engineering (PRISE), and daycare stipends for faculty children. According to PRISE director Gregory A. Llacer, the undergraduate summer research program will cost roughly $1 million over the course of several years. The cost of administering the survey of tenure-track faculty comes to a total of $20,000, with optional questions contributing expenses...

The relationship between the two national leaders could hardly be better: both support free trade in principle, and they fought as allies in Afghanistan and Iraq. Congress had given Bush fast-track approval to pursue FTAs; Howard saw a chance to prise open the U.S. agricultural market.
