Chairman. I have a list of 41 studies and programs that. if taxpayers knew. they would rise up and revolt. Some of the more notable are: $227.000 to review animal photos in National Geographic magazine. (what baboon thought that up?) $350.000 to study humanset fires in New Zealand in the 1800s. (the main "human set fire" here is our taxpayer dollars being burned) $200.000 to tour Europe for an overview of the Turkish fashionveil industry. (I am reminded that fashion is a form of ugliness so bad. it has to be changed about every 6 months!) $735.000 for the American Bar Association to follow young lawyers careers (3 awards). $920.000 to study textilemaking in Iceland during the Viking era (2 awards). $50.000 to support STEM education in Sri Lanka. $164.000 to study Chinese immigration to Italy (1900 to present). $20.000 to study stress among people from lowland Bolivia (one of 12 awards). $147.000 to analyze fishing practices at Lake Victoria. Africa. (Heck: all you gotta do is come down to my district in Galveston TX and well show you how to analyze fishing practices for a lot less and you can spend that money in our country!) $147.000 to study international marriages between citizens of France and Madagascar. $50.000 to study civil lawsuits in colonial Peru (16001700 AD). $250.000 to survey public attitudes about the Senate filibuster rule. $300.000 to study law firms in Silicon Valley. $170.000 to study basket weaving among Alaskan native peoples (2 awards). Perhaps thats what folks think Congress is majoring in. $276.000 to study the prehistory of Chiapas.
