Made 3 presentations to them over my 40 year career. The last two were total wastes of time talking to them.

I would guess there are multiple people on FR who have presented to them, consulted with them, or otherwise are familiar with their performance. I doubt anyone who has seen them in action will object to withdrawing their funding. Right now, our federal government is spending nearly $1,000,000,0000,000 (one trillion dollars) a year more than it should be. It's time to cut some things, even things that might be nice to keep if they were free.

When the WWII\Cold War generation passed on it started going down hill. For me the experience (early) allowed me to meet Freeman Dyson.

Agreed; they have long outlived their usefulness and seem to have been ceded entirely to the left in the last few years, with a big shift occurring ~2002.
