There wasn't a 'banned' list of words, but there were certain terms that they were encouraged not to use, or find alternatives for, if they wanted a chance of getting support/funding from Congress. Still distressing that a scientific organization would have to use certain words to not make lawmakers feel icky or confused, but better than a ban.
Self-censorship is still censorship.
