                                  STATEMENT OF
            ELMER B. STAATS, COMPTROLLER GENERAL OF THE UNITED STATES    /
                                   BEFORE THE
                   HOUSE COMMITTEE ON SCIENCE AND ASTRONAUTICS

        (1 ERA  POLICY, PLANS  AND) ORGANZATION FOR SCIENCE AND) TICHOLGY


        Mr. Chairman and Members of the Committee:

            I am pleased to meet with you today to discuss a subject which has

       been of interest to me for many years.  I am confident that the Commit-

       tee's comprehensive examination of the problems involved in relating

       science and technology to overall national strategy and policy will

       provide an important contribution as has the previous work of  this

       Committee.  Also, I found the Interim Staff Report to be most helpful

       in pulling together pertinent background material on the  subject.

            I believe it unnecessary, especially before this Committee,  to

       emphasize the importance of science and technology.  One of our  great

       national assets has been our leadership in science and technology  and

       the important role played by the Federal Government in maintaining  this

       leadership.  Estimated Federal expenditures for fiscal year 1975  for

       research and development are approximately $20 billion.   If additional

       evidence is needed as to the importance of science and technology,  I

       need only refer to the growing shortages of energy and raw material





                                                   7e73.
