Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Allocating Federal Funds for Science and Technology: Hearing Before the Committee on Science, U. S. House of Representatives, One Hundred Fourth Congress, Second Session; February 28, 1996; No. 44
Last year, when I took over as Chairman of the Science Commit tee, the first hearing was - Is Today's Science Policy Preparing Us for the Future?
We asked various federal agencies to look at where their science programs should be in the year 2015. That hearing was important and symbolic.
As we start the second session of the lo4th Congress, the focus of our first hearing in the Science Committee is Allocating Federal Funds for Science and Technology.
I believe this will be a significant hearing as we look forward to the next budget cycle and the future of science funding.
This report was requested by the Congress to address the criteria that should be used in judging the appropriate allocation of funds to research and development activities, the appropriate balance among different types of institutions that conduct research, and the means of assuring continued objectivity in the allocation process.
I'd like to re?ect for a few minutes on where we have been and where I think we're headed in the future.
