Dave - for IP, if you wish

   Before James Killian in the late '50s there was Vannevar Bush in the '40s.  His book, Modern Arms and Free Men, 
published in 1949 describes in detail how basic research is vital to the U.S.  He coined the term military-industrial 
complex.  He founded the National Science Foundation.  He understood better than anyone today the need for well funded 
basic research.
