Part 2

In 2012, Congress presented a bill to the President proposing to cut the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Science and Technology Directorate’s budget to $398 million. Of that amount, more than half was earmarked to maintain laboratories and other mandatory spending. That left $106 million for discretionary research and development, amounting to an 80% cut over the previous fiscal year.

Use 200–300 words to answer the following questions:

• Why do you think Congress cut the Science and Technology (S&T) budget so drastically?
• As President, would you sign or veto the bill that was presented by Congress? Why or why not?
