Today, in response to the President’s request, I am issuing a Memorandum to the Heads of Departments and Agencies that provides further guidance to Executive Branch leaders as they implement Administration policies on scientific integrity. It’s important to recognize that, although this Memorandum is new, scientific integrity has been a White House priority since Day One of this Administration. John P.
