<em><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#E51A38">Financial Times</span></em></a>, MIT President Rafael Reif co-authored an op/ed with former Intel chief executive and chairman Craig Barrett. Calling for a recommitment to research universities
and US innovation, the authors suggest "<em><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">To slash America’s R&D capability in the name of fiscal responsibility would be akin to seeking greater efficiency for an aircraft by jettisoning the engines.</span></em>"<br>
<br>
As President Reif and Craig Barrett argue, the sequester, on track to take place in under 100 hours, will have a significant negative impact on America’s innovation. Once again we ask you to take time to remind the members of congress and your community of
the importance of investments in scientific research and education, and the competitive advantage they provide to the American economy.<br>
<br>

<span style="color:#E51A38">http://www.contactingthecongress.org/</span></a> In general, you will find that congressional leaders utilize web forms for receiving email from constituents.<br>

<strong><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Sample letter Text: </span>
</strong><br>
<em><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">I am writing as a constituent in your district to highlight MIT President Reif’s and former Intel CEO Craig Barrett's recent op/ed in the Financial Times arguing against sequestration.</span></em><i><br>
<br>
<em><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Sequester cuts on track to be initiated this Friday, March 1, will cause irreparable damage to the future of our country. The first impact will be in the area of federal funding for research and, as this funding
continues to falter over the 9-year timeline of sequester, these cuts will reverberate through the economy in the form of lowered competitiveness, loss of hundreds of thousands of jobs, and curtailed innovation across economic sectors.</span></em><br>
<br>
<em><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">There is no doubt that while the federal budget is a significant concern, the sequester ignores the more complex needs of a dynamic economy, including the necessity to ensure a strong growth rate. In 2010,
the U.S. Commerce Department reported over 60% of U.S. economic growth since World War II has been tied to technological and related innovation. Without investment in R&D, our economy doesn’t have the engines for innovation that drive growth.</span></em><br>
<br>
<em><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">In addition to stalling the country's economic growth engine, these additional cuts to R&D come on the heels of 30 years of underinvestment in R&D. According to the Information Technology and Innovation Foundation,
from 1987 to 2007 investment in federally funded research as a portion of GDP grew just 0.3 percent annually. This figure significantly trails the investment of other countries in R&D, including China.</span></em><br>
<br>
<em><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">As an alumnus of MIT, I want to emphasize to you the mistake it is not only to continue the trajectory of underinvestment in R&D but to cut it even further. As you have already seen from the new numbers out
this week, and as compiled by The Science Coalition, sequestration will reduce federal funding for scientific research by nearly $85 billion over the next nine years. This will reduce GDP by at least $203 billion. Between 2013 and 2016 alone, the economy will
forfeit 200,000 jobs.</span></em><br>
<br>
<em><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">We know that sequestration will have a disastrous effect on the economy. The time is now: bet on America and American competitiveness, end the sequester threat, and recommit to funding American innovation for
economic growth. </span></em></i><o:p></o:p></span></p>
