FOR JUTC






          The Brennan Center strongly supports the Scientific Integrity Act and urges the Senate to
          pass this important legislation.

          In October 2019, the Brennan Center's National Task Force on Rule of Law &
          Democracy - a group of former government officials that includes both Republicans and
          Democrats - published a reort documenting the ways the guardrails historically
          protecting government research from being distorted and politicized are deteriorating.

          The Scientific Integrity Act contains many provisions in line with the legislative
          proposals the Task Force put forward in its report. It would mandate crucial across-the-
          board scientific integrity standards and require agencies to have appropriate rules,
          procedures, and safeguards in place to ensure sound science-based policymaking. For
          these reasons, all eight members of the Task Force endorsed the bill in November 2019.

          The Covid- 19 pandemic makes plain how essential objective and broadly accessible
          government research and data are to a healthy society. Scientific integrity is a pillar of
          ethical and trustworthy government. It should not be a partisan issue. We call on Senators
          to support this critical legislation.
