<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"><u></u> <u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">Per our discussion last week, attached is an in-depth analysis prepared by Lewis-Burke Associates LLC outlining the President’s proposed FY 2013 budget for Federal research and education programs. The request reflects a political and campaign strategy for the President. It maintains federal funding for scientific research agencies and federal postsecondary education programs, though some agencies of importance to UH fare better than others. <u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"><u></u> <u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">While the overall budget request is considered “dead on arrival” by many in Congress tasked with ushering through the annual appropriations bills, the highlighted research and education programs reflect future agency investment areas should the President be reelected to another four year term. <u></u><u></u></span></p>
