As you are aware, currently, we are spending approximately 90 percent of our funds out-of-house.

The Center will serve to focus the increasing NASA out-of-house efforts in the burgeoning area of electronics technology; and most important of all, it will provide a easy path for the early exploitation of advanced techniques or developments for space flight, whatever their source.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Mr. KARTH. Thank you very much, Dr. Kelley. I see that our time has expired for the day.

I want to thank you very much for your very able presentation. I'm sure the other committee members enjoyed it as much as I did and if there are no questions

Mr. RANDALL. Just one, Mr. Chairman, in relation to charts or slides which you showed as the record is completed would you identify them, because some were displayed which were not attached and they are, certainly, not in the order of your context, if you could do that. Dr. BISPLINGHOFF. Mr. Chairman, both Mr. Zimmerman and Dr. Kelley's verbal presentation was somewhat different than what they submitted for the record and

Mr. KARTH. Thank you very much, Doctor, for bringing it to my attention.

Since we have already established the principle of having these put in the record, if there are no objections to that procedure, it will be so ordered.

Hearing nothing, both Mr. Zimmerman's and Dr. Kelley's prepared statements will be inserted in the record.

Dr. Kelley, the committee will be adjourned until 10:00 o'clock tomorrow morning.

(Whereupon at 12:15 p.m. the subcommittee was adjourned until 10 a.m. April 3, 1963.)

APPENDIX A

INDUSTRIAL AND GOVERNMENTAL ELECTRONICS RESEARCH CAPABILITIES IN THE UNITED STATES

The following listings cover industrial and Federal governmental research laboratories and the areas of electronics and related subjects in which these laboratories have capabilities. Although many of these companies also conduct development, testing and evaluation in the electronics field, all companies listed have a research capability of a greater or lesser degree. Companies having primarily a development or production capability, and no research capability, are not listed. Only those Government laboratories primarily conducting a research operation are listed. Further evaluation of the capabilities of these laboratories is dependent upon a knowledge of the professional personnel and the tasks and projects currently being undertaken.

INDUSTRIAL LABORATORIES HAVING CAPABILITIES IN ELECTRONICS AND RELATED DISCIPLINES

The laboratories shown in the following listing have a research capability in one or more areas of electronics and its associated disciplines. All laboratories shown have 25 or more personnel. This listing is based on the professional knowledge of the staff of the Directorate of Electronics and Control, Office of Advanced Research and Technology, on available Government documents, and on trade publications available to the staff working in the field.

A further listing of all small business concerns interested in performing research and development is contained in "Research and Development, List of Small Concerns Interested in Performing Research and Development," 609 pages, Small Business Administration, November 1961. This listing of 2,877 companies is indexed, showing individual firms, areas of capabilities, and number of scientists and/or engineers. A copy is submitted as an appendix to this material.

1 Definitions of "research" and "development" are based on the National Science Foundation's definitions: Research is "systematic, intensive study directed toward fuller scientific knowledge of the subject studied. Such study covers both basic and applied research."

Development is "the systematic use of scientific knowledge directed toward the production of useful materials, devices, systems, or methods including design and development of prototypes and processes. It excludes quality control or routine product testing."

Test and Evaluation are categories used by the Department of Defense covering the processes in which objects developed are tested and evaluated to determine whether they meet the design requirements.
