REPORT BY THE


Comptroller General


OF THE UNITED S-ATES


The Office Of Science

And Technology Policy: Adaptation To

A President's Operating Style May Conflict

With Congressionally Mandated

Assignments

G AO recommends that OSTP either perform a
comprehensive study of the Federal role in sci-
ence and technology, as originally mandated
to the President's Committee on Science and
Technology, or suggest legislation for the Con-
gress to relieve OSTP of the mandate.


OSTP's approach to strategic planning empha-
sizes topical or mission issues. OSTP does not
consider it feasible to do comprehensive stra-
tegic planning within the current policy-
making environment.    Notwithstanding the
constraints on OSTP, its Director should esta-
blish a formal means for identifying emerging
issues and suggesting priorities. The Congress
should consider mechanisms alternative to
OSTP for identifying such emerging issues and
examining OSTP's work agenda. The Congress
should consider whether OSTP gives enough
attention to the interactions among topical
strategies for science and technology and to
Federal policies intrinsic to the governance and
support of science and technology.
