Our office in DOE funds some health effects research. Ever
since the big flap over the misuse of direct moneys a
couple of years ago, and the more recent movements to
hold down direct costs, we have been looking at these
shifts of research charges from the indirect to
direct categories. From my perspective, there will be
continuing limits on available research funds and it
will serve little real purpose to try to disguise costs
that are not directly related to research as if they are so
related. A rose by any other name still has thorns.
