A DRAFT U.S. Agriculture Department budget includes $1.2 million for
Virginia Tech's proposed research center for agricultural biotechnology - a
classic example of the kind of practical and promising research that Tech, a
land-grant institution, should be pursuing. Yet nothing's assured about the
federal money or hoped-for state money - a classic example of how simplistic
and self-defeating belt-tightening can rob the nation of investments in its
future.
