its establishment as a separate
agency under the policy guidance
OF a politically untouchable COM
mittee of outstanding, scientific
ally-trained men from Govern

'The Astin case is just one
example of the pressures in the
new administration to direct the
power of the Government not for
the general interest but for the
special interests.
