SUBJECT:
Working Group on Science and Technology
nn
The economic performance of the United States is closely tied to
increases in productivity through innovation and the development
and application of new technologies. The President has
continually demonstrated his commitment to a vigorous research
and development agenda, most recently in the FY 1992 budget
submission to Congress.
To support the Administration's leadership on research and
development issues, the Economic Policy Council (EPC) Working
Group on Research, Development, Technology and Innovation is
being re-established. This group will be called the Working
Group on Science and Technology. The Assistant to the President
for Science and Technology will assume the role of chairman.
The Working Group will provide a forum for developing
Administration policy on significant science and technology
issues that affect U.S. economic performance. As initial tasks,
the Working Group will review the policy approach of the federal
government toward implementation of the networking aspects of the
high performance computing and communications initiative and
various joint industry-government cost-sharing consortia
contemplated by the recent Administration initiatives.
The Working Group should include representatives from the Office
of the Vice President, Departments of State, the Treasury,
- 2 -
Defense, USTR, Commerce, Energy, Office of Management and Budget,
Council of Economic Advisers, Office of Policy Development, and
Office of Science and Technology Policy. The members of the
Working Group should be at the Assistant Secretary level or
above.
As the Working Group focuses on specific issues, representatives
of appropriate Executive Branch agencies will be invited to
participate.
The chairman of the Working Group should coordinate its
activities with the Executive Secretary to the EPC.
Thank you very much for your cooperation.
