| Abstract: | Senator Jacob K. Javits views the role of scientists and scientific organizations working with Congress as twofold: (1) the scientists' expertise is critical to the workings of Congress and (2) scientists must be involved in the process to highlight their ethical and moral concerns. He discusses the social, political, and philosophical factors that have contributed to the activist, antiscience, and antiresearch movement that developed in the US during the early 1980s. Javits identifies the integration of health and behavior as the radical change that has occurfed in the latter part of the 20th century.
