Science reported the results by researchers from Columbia and the University of California, San Diego, refuting past studies on global warming. They found flaws in a 1993 study of deep-core Greenland ice by European scientists that said global warming could cause abrupt, disruptive cold along the North Atlantic Ocean. The U.S. researchers said that Earth's climate is remarkably stable and likely to remain so. (USA Today, Jan 28/94)
Numerous Federal agencies, including NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), were accused in a Senate report of "offloading" by devising elaborate practices for circumventing Federal law so that hundreds of millions of dollars in government business could go to favored companies. The Senate Governmental Affairs subcommittee on oversight of government management said they had "abused and misused" the law and otherwise could have cut costs by half. (W Post, Jan 28/94)
German Economics Minister Guenter Rexrodt urged the U.S. to grant con-cessions in international talks on aerospace subsidies, particularly NASA's indirect subsidies on R&D. This issue was not dealt with in the 1993 General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) agreement. Germany was studying ways to shift direct support, and Deutsche Aerospace AG has released a 10-point program. (Reuters, Jan 27/94)
