 Nevertheless, government officials and some tribal representatives have
 indicated it won't be so easy for the scientists to walk into Seattle's
 Burke Museum where the bones are stored and examine them. In response to
 the scientists' earlier study-plan proposal, Corps officials seem intent
 on applying new restrictions even though two federal courts have ordered
 that the scientists can study them under existing laws.
 ...
 Among the early disagreements is whether Corps officials will permit the
 scientific study team to do testing that might require extracting material
 about the size of a pencil point. The government's own previous testing
 used more much.

 The plaintiff scientists are not slouches, but a preeminent group, including
 the Smithsonian's Doug Owsley, one of the world's top forensic anthropologists.
 They have not only an interest but a stake in ensuring the bones are treated
 carefully and tested with minimal disturbance.
