"he (DR Hansen) prepared a terrific statement and then all of a sudden,
his statement was censored. And the White House, back in those days,
told him he had to change his statement."

DR JAMES HANSEN during congressional testimony (May 8, 1989):
"OMB requested changes which I felt completely negated the testimony."

WILLIAM REILLY (BUSH Administration):
"At the time, the Hansen testimony was seen by the Office of Management
and Budget as inconsistent with (BUSH) administration policy.

DR JAMES HANSEN:
The last paragraph in that section was not a paragraph which I wrote.

studies to conform with the ideology then acceptable to the state.
