Next week Dr Holdren will set out new regulations that he says will prevent scientific advice from being influenced by politics.
Dr Holdren was confident that that a similar bill would be passed by the US Senate in time for the Copenhagen summit meeting.
Yet the Holdren-Beddington article is based on data and studies from the Congressional EMP Commission--that warns about both natural and nuclear EMP threats.
Some 19 Federal entities had submitted either draft or final policies as of last week, the deadline Dr. Holdren had set for draft submissions.
As Holdren and Beddington note, the solar maximum, and increased possibility of a great geomagnetic storm, is fast approaching, now less than a year away.
Dr. John Holdren, my Science and Technology Advisor -- where's John?
Holdren called both winners today to convey those good wishes.

Holdren and I have testified before Congress, there is a growing awareness of the value of integrated Earth observations for meeting a variety of environmental and other public policy objectives.
On Monday in Washington, DC, OSTP Director John Holdren spoke to an audience of scientists and innovators, including the student finalists of the Siemens Foundation Competition in Math, Science, and Technology.
Only 10% of meteors more than 150 yards wide -- dubbed "potential city killers" by Holdren -- have been detected, meaning more than 10, 000 are out there without our knowledge, he said.
Federal departments and agencies are making good progress on the development of scientific integrity policies, as initially called for by OSTP director John Holdren in a December 2010 Executive Branch memorandum.

Others in attendance at the briefing included National Security Advisor Tom Donilon, Homeland Security Advisor John Brennan, Deputy National Security Advisor Denis McDonough, White House Chief of Staff Bill Daley, and John Holdren, the Director of the Office of Science and Technology Policy.
If scientists detected a major asteroid headed for Earth now, it would take at least five years to develop an effective defense system to either alter its course or possibly destroy it, no matter how much money was spent, according to Holdren and Bolden.
White House Science Advisor John Holdren and Sir John Beddington, Science Advisor to British Prime Minister David Cameron, in a recent joint article "Celestial Storm Warnings" published in the New York Times, warned that a solar flare from the Sun could cause a great geomagnetic storm, with catastrophic consequences for the United States and the world.
