Leaders of 28 major U.S. scientific societies had endorsed tests to determine the value of a "science court"-an impartial quasijudicial body-in evaluating conflicting claims on controversial national issues such as nuclear-reactor safety, food additives, pesticides, and offshore oil exploration, and in determining the facts, according to New York Times science reporter John Noble Wilford. The concept, debated for several yr, had received the endorsements in the last months of 1976. Although it had the support of President Ford's scientific advisers, proponents were not sure how President-elect Carter's advisers stood. (NYT, Jan 2/77, 28)
