During a conversation that took place on 16 December with Irwin Goodwin of Physics Today, D. Allan Bromley spoke candidly about his experiences at the White House. In this interview, edited and abridged from that conversation, Bromley discusses his differences with White House officials on issues such as technology policy and global climate change; his advocacy of higher budgets for individual investigators and his opposition to go-it-alone approaches by the US government on big science projects; and his displeasure with pork barrel legislation by Congress and the hyping of major projects like the Superconducting Super Collider and the space station. He describes a proposal for improving Congressional oversight of science and education programs. Bromley makes a case for coming to the aid of scientists in the former Soviet Union and for reinventing science and technology policies in the US to deal with the emerging economic and societal realities of the post-cold-war era.
