THE RESEARCH FREEDOM
DOSSIER.
Fourteen interconnected research and legal chapters. Primary federal sources. Peer-reviewed scientific evidence. Model legislative instructions. The strongest objections, answered on the merits. Built so a congressional office—or any citizen—can understand what must change, who must act, and how to make it enforceable.
