33-291 INTERIM STAFF REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON SCIENCE AND ASTRONAUTICS NINETY-THIRD CONGRESS SECOND SESSION Serial P JUNE 1974 STAMFORD Printed for the use of the Committee on Science and Astronautics U.S. GOVERNMENT PRINTING OFFICE WASHINGTON: 1974 COMMITTEE ON SCIENCE AND ASTRONAUTICS KEN HECHLER, West Virginia JAMES W. SYMINGTON, Missouri GEORGE E. BROWN, JR., California CHARLES A. MOSHER, Ohio JOHN N. HAPPY CAMP, Oklahoma JOHN L. SWIGERT, JR., Executive Director WILLIAM G. CARTER, Publications Clerk (II) LETTER OF SUBMITTAL HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, COMMITTEE ON SCIENCE AND ASTRONAUTICS, Hon. OLIN E. TEAGUE, Chairman, Committee on Science and Astronautics, House of Representatives, Washington, D.C. DEAR MR. CHAIRMAN: A year ago, at your direction, this committee began the first phase of a comprehensive and continuing inquiry into Federal Policy, Plans and Organization for Science and Technology. Inaugurated by hearings in July 1973, the inquiry has continued through further study and examination by our own staff, the Science Policy Research Division of the Congressional Research Service, the Committee on Science and Public Policy of the American Association for the Advancement of Science and the Federal Science and Technology Committee of the Industrial Research Institute. This report, which is a summation and record of the first phase, also includes tentative observations and findings which may be augmented during later stages. It is my belief that the report, prepared under the direction of staff member Philip B. Yeager, will be a valuable addition to existing documentation on this very important matter as well as a guide to those who will be involved with future phases of the inquiry. Sincerely, |
