The White House budget is a list of administration priorities, not a budget Budget items like the requested changes at NIST (which also include cancellation of measurement programs related to tracking climate change) will be addressed in Congress, which is responsible for actually producing the federal government's budget. To mount an effective response, people must contact their senators and representatives directly. Petitions are easy but, for the most part, not nearly as effective as an email or phone call to your congressional offices. 73 de bill
