USDA Scientists Ordered to Investigate Foreign Researchers

I would think this would be sufficient which the USDA already does.

>... the USDA’s Agricultural Research Service, which conducts research on crop yields, invasive species, plant genetics and other agricultural issues. The USDA instructed employees to stop agency researchers from collaborating on or publishing papers with scientists from “countries of concern,” including China, Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Russia and Venezuela.

There have been incidents in academia of researchers accepting funds from the US government for projects and also accepting money from foreign governments but not disclosing it. Or even lying about it when asked. I think the USDA situation is different.

EDIT for my bad grammar
