Dear Dr. Cicerone, Dr. Vest, and Dr. Fineberg:

America's research universities are admired throughout the world, and they have contributed immeasurably to our social and economic well-being. Our universities, to an extent unparalleled in other countries, are our Nation's primary source of long-term scientific, engineering, and medical research. We are concerned that they are at risk.
