military readiness -- and indeed, responsible for much of it -- has
been the technological transformation of our society during the past
five decades. The term "revolution" has been aptly used to describe
the fundamental advances in science, technology and engineering which
are remaking the material basis of our civilization even while we look on.
Two facts characterize this research revolution. The first
is that the process of research has become highly formalized, complex,

and costly. Second, because this is so, a steadily increasing share of
research is conducted for, by, and under the direction of the Federal
