European Stars And Stripes (Newspaper) - April 21, 1989, Darmstadt, Hesse                                Friday. April 21. 19b9 the stars and stripes Page 9 physicist named As science adviser by the Washington Post Washington president Bush has selected a nationally renowned nuclear physicist from Yale University d. Allan Bromley As White House science adviser senior administration officials said wednesday. This is a great appointment said Leonic Hcrman. Director of uie Fermi lab accelerator near Chicago and a Nobel laureate who has known Bromley for decades. He has the respect of the scientific Community he is vigorous and Lively and he will be ii Wise voice on difficult issues. Of course a lot de pends upon the chemistry Between him and the president Bush faces an unusually Lanc array of major technical decisions requiring scientific expertise. Among them arc the development of n space station the construction of the superconducting Collider in Texas the Issue of possible global warming the Scala Dingbat the against aids major decisions on the strategic defense initiative and How to pursue a sub Ilion project to map he human Chromo Somes. Bush has repeatedly asserted that the position of science adviser currently called Dirc Clor of the office of science. And technology policy would hold Garcal prominence in his administration. Brom Ley who has been Active in Sci acc Fader Al policy issues for years would almost certainly command More respect in the scientific Community than any adviser since the Carter administration. Bro Macy is a past president of the american association Forth Advance ment of science and the director of the . Wright nuclear Structure Laboratory Al Yale University in new Haven Conn. He is considered one of the world s leading nuclear physicists having carried out pioneering studies on the Structure and dynamic of atomic nuclei he has also played major roles in the development of accelerators of the detection systems they use and in computer based data and analysis systems. Bromley served As chairman of the National Academy of science s physics Survey in the 1970s, which helped plan for the future of the science. In addition he has served on Many National and International science policy boards and committees. Bromley said wednesday that he had no knowledge that he d been selected. Nobody has told me thai i have been Given this Job he said from his Home in new Haven. So at this Point i think it would be quite inappropriate for me to comment scientific groups have urged Bush to give the role of White House science advis or More prominence after years of decline in which its political clout and scientific Independence have diminished. George Jay Keyworth science adviser during most of the Reagan administration for example was a Little known scientist who de voted most of his time to advocating sd1, program that most of he scientific Community regarded As ill founded.
