Major Science And Technology Issues


Developments in science and technology have
an increasingly pervasive effect on the way we
live. Consequently, public policy must contin-
ually address problems which have significant
science and technology components.

In its various functions, the Federal Govern-
ment performs, funds, and regulates science
and technology. These Federal activities often
require a balance among:

     --a need for more and better science and
     technology,

     --pressure for more accountability for
     the use of public funds, and

     --more attention to preventing the neg-
     ative consequences of science and
     technology.

This study identifies emerging issues related to
Federal involvement in science and technology
and describes GAO's efforts in this area.
