signed by President Lincoln in 1863, know as "An Act to incorporate the
National Academy of Sciences". Although the "Academy" is a private
corporation, it is required by the terms of its congressional charter,
that: "whenever called upon by any subject of science or art, the
actual expenses of such...to be paid from appropriations which may be
made for the purpose, but the "Academy" shall receive no compensation
whatever for any services to the government of the United States". This
directive is enhanced by Executive Order 12832 issued 1/19/93 by the
Executive Branch, which restates the mission between the Federal
Government and the National Academy of Sciences. WEB: State Department
