The text says thousands of research bodies share the aim of enriching life. The tell is glittering generalities, with 'peace and progress' labels attached to the images.

Scattered across continental United States are thousands of public and private scientific research organizations. Although each one has a different specialization and goal, they all share the ultimate aim of seeking and expanding knowledge to enrich life and make this world a better place to live in.
