Without science there is no progress; without workers there is no government; without government there is no democracy.

There seems to be some amount of confusion about the sourcing here, so for clarity:

I am a journalist; I was provided this information by multiple NSF staff. I am reporting it because it is credible and important. Separately, I have contacted NSF/GSA/HUD. I will provide updates when I have them.

Some of his requests, per NSF staff:

- Dedicated suite for him in the 19th floor
- constructing an Executive Dining Room
- reserved parking space for his 5 cars
- exclusive use of 1 elevator for the Secretary
- hosting the Secretary’s executive assistants in the 18th floor.

Oddly, staff say that neither NSF management nor OSTP have been involved, and the decision was instead driven by the HUD Secretary, Scott Turner, who will be imminently taking over the 18th & 19th floors of the (soon-to-be-former?) NSF building.
