                        BEFORE THE

        SUBCOMMITTEE ON DOMESTIC AND INTERNATIONAL

             SCIENTIFIC PLANNING AND ANALYSIS

   I7OORDINATION OF GOVERNMENT RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT(


Mr. Chairman and Members of the Subcommittee:

     My concern for the subject of today's hearings dates back

to World War II. Since then, as both an observer and a partici-

pant, I have been involved in nearly all the steps in the evolu-

tion of various Federal mechanisms for coordination and central

oversight of science and technology in the executive branch. I

have been interested in the role of the Federal Council for

Science and Technology since its inception, and I testified in

support of the establishment of the Office of Science and Tech-

nology in 1962 which also formalized a staff support base for

the Federal Council and the President's Science Advisory Commit-

tee.
