AAAS Resolution:
Reaffirmation of Opposition to Restrictions on Unclassified Research
Whereas progress in science and technology is greatly enhanced by open communication; and
Whereas such progress promotes both the national security, however defined, and the general welfare; and
Whereas public availability of unclassified scientific and technical information is a necessity for democratic decision-making in a wide range of important public policy issues,
Be it resolved that the American Association for the Advancement of Science strongly reaffirm its opposition to continuing governmental efforts to restrict the communication or publication of unclassified research. [Adopted by the AAAS Council, May 28, 1984.]
