English term or phrase: Moe Committee
Che cosa caspita era questo Moe Committee?

Si tratta di una lettera a Roosevelt scritta nel 1945 dal direttore dell'Ufficio per lo sviluppo scientifico USA, sulla politica scientifica da adottare dopo la guerra. Il testo intero è il seguente:

A Note of Warning
It would be folly to set up a program under which research in the natural sciences and medicine was expanded at the cost of the social sciences, humanities, and other studies so essential to national well-being. This point has been well stated by the MOE COMMITTEE as follows:
" As citizens, as good citizens, we therefore think that we must have in mind while examining the question before us - the discovery and development of scientific talent - the needs of the whole national welfare. We could not suggest to you a program which would syphon into science and technology a disproportionately large share of the nation's highest abilities, without doing harm to the nation, nor, indeed, without crippling science. * * * Science cannot live by and unto itself alone."
