Since noone else has done so yet, I'm going to go on record as
unwilling to accept money from military sources for ANY kind of
research.  I think we are very fortunate in Canada that CS research in
universities has not been funded much from military budgets, and view
the situation in the States with unhappiness.
  Research aimed at reducing our dependence on weapons (for instance,
the Build-Down idea mentioned in these columns) should be supported by
a ministry with fewer vested interests in the status quo, if for no
other reason.
