Dude, what you have comes from February 2003. This is February 2004. Things have changed.

The 2004 budget shows deep cuts for Research
The Department of Energys budget grows 1.2%. But research is cut by $73 million, this research is primarially the human genome project and, climate change research. This is the nations primary source of federally funded climate change research. The Admin is tripling spending on research for cleaner ways to burn coal from 208 - 635 million. Money towards an emission-free power plant using coal? Grows to $287 mill. Funding to develop more efficient vehicle tech? Cut by $23 million.
EPA's budget is cut by 7.2% That makes it one of the hardest hit. Cuts in the science and research budget such as the competeitvely awarded Science to Achieve Results grants. Used to solve environmental questions like health effects of airborne particulates, drinking water quality, global climate change, and endochrine-disrupting chemical pollutants.
All these programs will not just be set back one year because of this budget. Even if the money is put back in next year there will be a multiple year setback as you can't just take a year off and get back into it. Constant collection of data is necessary to get good science. We are now being denied that. Research teams will be disbanded, and they scatter to other ventures to never be combined again. Facilities go to other priorities, when the research comes back money must be wasted to start new labs and facilities from scratch.
It may be a bit of an overstatement. But we are essentially losing all federally funded research.
