How to read this record. The Action and Immediate Effect fields are factual summaries. Classification and Longer Significance state the analytical interpretation used for The Rise and Fall of Federal Science.

Status matters: proposed, ordered, implemented, blocked, vacated, reversed, and congressional constraints are distinguished. An announced proposal should not be read as an accomplished cut.
