Under point #2, often "results stay only within their professional community" because the professional journals in which those results appear are run by private publishers who charge very hefty subscription fees, and for non-subscribers, impose prohibitively high reprint charges to view individual articles.

Agencies who fund research should make any necessary arrangements with researchers and publishers to ensure that any published results should also be made available to the public for no additional charge. After all, we already paid for it.

I just have to say, coming from someone whose party, when it was in power, would, with awesome regularity, gut entire bills and put out the substitute language minutes before a vote, hold votes at 3AM, and hold votes open for hours to threaten/bribe enough members to get the results they wanted - you show yet again that there is no limit to your hypocrisy.
