                     KEYNOTE ADDRESS  TO THE
      NATIONAL' CONFERENCE ON THE ADVANCEMENT  OF RESEARCH
      THE GREENBRIER, WHITE SULPhUR  SPRINGS, WEST VIRGINIA

                       BY ELMER B. STAATS
           COMPTROLLER  GENERAL OF THE  UNITED STATES

                       SEPTEMBER 15, 1975


                 IMPROVING THE MOBILIZATION  OF
             SCIENTIFIC AND TECHNOLOGICAL  RESOURCES


     Mr. Chairman,  ladies and gentlemen,  I am honored by the

privilege of  addressing this conference  on a most important

and timely  subject of national and  international concern.

     I have  thought a great deal about  what I might say to pro-

vide perspective  and help sharpen the  focus for the panel dis-

cussions that  will follow during the  next few days, recognizing

that you  represent our top leadership  in this field from Govern-

ment, industry,  and academia.  I understand  that the panelists

are charged  with the responsibility  for innovating in the design

of R&D organizations.   Rather than deal  with this subject directly,

therefore,  I shall attempt to provide  some relevant background

and perspective  for the conference deliberations.

     One option  I considered was to  review historical developments

to provide a  framework for examining  the issues. This would be

particularly  tempting to me because  I have been involved for  so

many years  in this unfolding drama  that I am personally ac-

quainted with  many of the leading players  and familiar with most

of the key  episodes and organizational  changes that have occurred

since World War  II.
