Dear Dr. Bromley:
As you know, the HPCC Act requires that NREN protect copyright, and that you report to
cognizant committees on this matter one year after the enactment of HPCC. I share your
concern that tax payer monies should not be used to construct a network which makes the
violation of copyright easier and faster.
I regret to inform you that the implementation of the bill has been otherwise. After a
careful review of the SBIR solicitations for DOD, NSF, NASA, DOE, NIH, DOC, and
DOA; I have found only two topics which requested research on this important problem.
Both topics were in the June 92 DARPA solicitation, but neither was funded.
InfoLogic has internally funded work to the point of obtaining two patents pending.
Attached are four letters of rejection on various proposals submitted to do additional work
on this important problem. I am not aware of any government funded research on this topic.
Many technologists seem unconcerned about this problem, believing that copyright law
simply must adapt to electronic networks; but I am certain you recognize the constitutional
additional information.
obligation to protect copyright. Please feel free to call with any questions, or request
Sincerely yours,
Say :

Address Of
Dexter F. Baker
Before The
National Technology Initiative (NTI)
Conference
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
Tuesday, 27 October 1992
W823A1
Good morning ladies and gentlemen. It is a genuine pleasure to be here. I am delighted to be
asked to share this panel with such distinguished representatives from our government and
academia.
I have been asked to share some thoughts with you on technology, economic performance, and
particularly the role of our federal government in spurring technology development and
innovation.
I speak today as one who has been involved for four decades with a particular American
company--Air Products and Chemicals--and for many years involved directly with American
industry through my participation in the National Association of Manufacturers.
Incidentally Air Products sales were only $2.5 million 40 years ago and we employed only
250 people. We were then a classical single product, small manufacturer. Today, we have nearly
15,000 employees in 29 countries and better than $3 billion in annual revenues. From our
Pennsylvania facilities, we export to another 50 countries.
I offer four observations borne of my long involvement with American manufacturing:
First, the wealth of a nation is created primarily through manufacturing. It is the constant
introduction of new manufactured products based on new technologies, products that reduce
cost, consume less resources and offer improved benefits to the user, that is what creates
wealth. Our German friends and our Japanese friends understand this, but unfortunately, we
in America, have lost track of that fundamental economic fact;
Second, the manufacturing sector is not only increasingly reliant on technological innovations
for its success, but it is also more than ever the principal source of these technological
advances. So, public policy directed at advancing technology must first look to the overall
health of America's manufacturing sector;
- 1 -
W823A1
Third, we can only solve the social and economic needs of our nation by expanding the size
of our economic pie. Redistribution of the existing economic pie will not improve the
economic well being of the majority of our citizens.
And, fourth, the widespread myth of America's manufacturing's decline is just that -- a myth.
Manufacturing now, as much as ever before, is at the center of America's economic future. It
is the principal generator of national wealth and it is, increasingly, the measure of our ability
to compete successfully around the globe.
The Post Industrial Myth
Let me just elaborate briefly. American manufacturing is undergoing something of a renaissance.
Today USA manufacturing leads the world in productivity. While in the rest of the U.S.
economy, productivity lags, American manufacturing productivity growth over the last ten years
has averaged 3% per year. This is nearly three times the nation's overall productivity growth rate.
To say it another way, 23% of our nation's economy creates nearly all of our nation's productivity
growth.
Furthermore, American manufacturers' product quality improvement over the last decade has been
dramatic. The Malcolm Baldrige Quality Award Program is working. There has been a step
change in the last 10 years in American manufacturers' commitment to produce quality products
as a strategic imperative. As a result, American manufactured exports have doubled in the last
6 years. In the same 6 years we have moved from a trade deficit of $20 billion per year with
Europe to a trade surplus of $20 billion per year. Except for automotive and consumer electronic
trade with Japan, America has achieved essentially a positive trade balance in manufactured goods
with the rest of the world.
Today American manufacturers of every size and sector face markets that are increasingly
international and competitive. It is no mystery that a key factor in successfully meeting this
challenge is the effective development, deployment, and use of technology resources. What is
still a mystery is that, after years of debate and exhaustive studies, we still are far from a national
consensus on what role government should play in this new competitive environment.
2 -
W823A1
Our manufacturers' problems, however, are multidimensional. They include increased mandated
payroll costs, increased health care costs, a bubonic plague of excessive litigation costs, excessive
and unnecessary regulatory compliance burdens, questionable social mandates imposed upon
manufacturers, and worker educational skill deficits. We must not deceive ourselves that we can
solve these misdirected public policy initiatives which are so hurtful to the wealth creating
processes of our nation by an enlightened technological policy initiative alone.
No matter how well conceived or executed, no national new technology policy framework is
powerful enough to overcome the negative drag of anti-competitive initiatives taken by other
sectors of our government. However, technological policy directions are important to American
manufacturers and to our nation's wealth creating processes. But it is only a part of the solution.
We must never make the mistake of substituting one pinch of sugar for all that vinegar so often
poured into America's competitive cocktail.
Our whole national policy agenda must be comprehensively pro-competitive, not just a one-
dimensional pro-technology initiative.
American industry spent $75.8 billion for outside legal services in 1987. This compares to $38.8
billion in 1982. Legal costs doubled in just five years. NAM estimates these costs have nearly
doubled again in the most recent five years, bringing current outside legal costs to $118 billion.
And, this cost burden includes only fees paid to outside law firms. It does not include payments
to in-house counsel, damages paid to litigants or any indirect litigation costs of diverting these
huge resources away from value-added activities. Just last month, the U.S. Senate failed to enact
meaningful Tort Reform after more than 10 years of effort. Our legal system, as it impacts wealth
creation in the nation, is out of control. No wonder so many companies move their manufacturing
facilities abroad.
Compare this cost burden if you will with the private sector's total R&D budget last year of
approximately $75 billion. In short, as a nation we are paying nearly 1.5 times as much for
litigation expense as we do for creating new wealth. That is a recipe for economic disaster.

While regulations affect all business, the lion's share of regulatory costs faced by manufacturers
are environmental. In 1990 industry spent $51.6 billion on pollution abatement. Independent
private studies suggest that this cost will rise to $75 billion this year and will top $100 billion
annually once the 1990 Clean Air Act is fully phased in. When other regulatory costs are added, a
truly extraordinary fact emerges: the aggregate of U.S. manufacturers federal regulatory burdens
exceeds our aggregate pretax profits.
I submit that controlling the growth of legal expenses and regulatory burdens will do more for my
company's and my country's technological competitiveness and bottom-line performance than any
other set of government policy initiatives. Or, to put it another way, without reform, the positive
effect of a sound national technology policy will be more than canceled out by the continuing
adverse effects of unreformed legal and regulatory systems. And over time, inevitably, market
leadership will follow technological leadership--which leads to global market share leadership.
In spite of impressive performances by some individual U.S. industries, in head-to-head global
competition, (for example, the U.S. chemical industry) our Federal Government policy response
to this competitive challenge has been somewhat less than proactive.
The National Technology Agenda
I believe we all agree today that it is not the United States Government's role to direct industrial
development or to employ what has become a tiresome and empty phrase, that government should
"pick winners and avoid supporting losers." However, I believe that it is important for
government to facilitate technological innovation and national strategic thinking.
What does this mean in practice? What are the specifics of such a government role? Let me
address these questions on three different levels. In their order of importance to technology
development and competitiveness, these are:
1. Policy Changes
2. Organizational Changes
3. Federal Programs Focus
4 -
W823A1
First, Policy Changes--
Now, it is true that if you tax something more, you get less of it. If you tax it less you get more of
it. Certainly, tax policy can be a powerful incentive for innovation and technology development.
Unfortunately, Congress too often considers tax policy more in terms of its ability to gain political
advantage than for its impact to leverage innovation, research, competitiveness, and wealth
creation. Why else the persistent practice of temporary extensions for R&D tax credits rather than
making the R&D tax credit incentives a permanent feature of the tax code upon which business
planners can rely? Research is an investment in our future just as surely as are capital programs
and worker training, are programs.
Antitrust policy is another "non-technology" technology policy issue that begs for a more modern
approach. A century after enactment of the Sherman Antitrust Act, we still measure relevant
market share for U.S. manufacturers only in domestic market share terms for antitrust purposes.
Clearly, our antitrust approach needs to recognize that American enterprise must compete in the
global marketplace. Our competitors in Europe recognize worldwide market share in European
mergers. Shouldn't we in the United States?
Other policy issues often not included under the rubric of technology policy cannot be ignored.
Surely export controls (which need to be relaxed now that the Cold War is over) and the treatment
of foreign investment in the U.S. are among these. Most assuredly, worker skills fit in as well.
An NAM survey of our members found that one of the biggest obstacles to the introduction of
new technology in their factories was the inability of their workers to master it. Surely
improvement in education and training is a fundamental item on any pro-technology, pro-
competitive policy agenda.
Before leaving the policy level, I offer a more general observation. We need to step back from
the mutual mistrust and downright hostility that plague the private sector's relationship with
government. When some of the best among industry innovators have to spend more time and
effort making sure they are litigation-proof than on creating new ideas or new sources of wealth,
something is wrong. The Super Fund Law as administered is a lawyer's dream and a national
disaster.
We need to create the same cooperative spirit that exists between the industrial sector and the
research establishments at many of our nation's leading universities.
- 5 -
W823A1
(Tell Lehigh Story)
Campus after campus has created industrial consortiums which focus on advancing technology in
individual areas of industrial interest. At Lehigh University, where I happen to serve on the Board
of Trustees, we have 13 such industrial consortiums ranging from polymer emulsion institutes to
the design of high-rise steel structures to semiconductor devices and bio-technology processes.
Our international competitors are using public-private partnerships to their advantage, while we
are at each other's throats to our disadvantage. It's time to cooperate. We all ride or sink in the
same economic boat.
Organizations
As public policy must adapt in the face of worldwide change, so must our organizational
framework. Institutions that worked one way in the past may not work that way now--or even
work at all. This is true for both the private sector and government. The story of the 1980s on the
private sector side has been a story of restructuring, of slimming and trimming, so I shall focus
here on what government might do.
The most obvious (and important) example of the need for organizational change is our federal
laboratory system which today consists of more than 700 separate facilities. Because many of the
needs these labs were to solve were defense-related, money was virtually no object and cost
effectiveness was a decidedly secondary concern.
As we now know, the justification for and organization of the federal laboratory system is now
increasingly challenged. The question we must now ask is this: How does America get an
adequate commercial market return on our $22-billion annual expenditure at our federal labs?
Could the savings realized from a more commercially focused, streamlined federal laboratory
system make up for the federal revenue shortfall that stands in the way of a permanent R&D tax
credit?
In this vein, I propose that we establish a federal lab-closing commission, similar to the national
military base-closing commission.
6 -
W823A1
Not only does this mechanism work, it may well be the only objective and politically feasible
means of refocusing the federal lab system. To be more politic, we can call it the Federal Lab
Evaluation Commission. The result, however, should be the same: to streamline the entire system
and to close those facilities that are in direct and unnecessary competition with the private sector,
or, whose missions are no longer relevant to the broader U.S. national interest.
Industry does this every year, why not our Federal Government? When missions change,
organizations must change. The private sector has adapted to a changing world environment. So
too must the public sector. This may sound harsh, but we simply cannot afford to do otherwise.
They simply must be assessed by a common business measurement. Are we getting an adequate
return at each facility?
At the same time, we need to reassess our national R&D priorities in order to achieve more
commercial bang for the nearly $75 billion (FY92) the Federal Government spends. At the
federal level, we do not need to spend more on R&D, but we must spend each dollar wisely and
with better focus. I suggest that one way to do this is to involve industry more closely in the
federal R&D agenda-setting and planning and review process. Academia involves industry, why
not the Federal Government?
In the general atmosphere of suspicion that divides government and industry, this will not be a
simple matter. But national trade policy and agricultural policy is formulated this way. Why not
national scientific and technology policy.
Which leads me to the third level. The Program Level.
One of the most significant developments related to federal R&D spending over the past few years
is the emergence of the budget "cross-cut". Essentially, these budget cross-cuts take stock of the
various and usually disparate R&D activities across all relevant federal agencies in a given subject
area. Then, the pieces are put back together in a more coherent and focused fashion. The result is
an overall federal R&D effort that is more focused and effective. Global climate change was the
first cross-cut (FY91), followed by math and science education, then high-performance computing
and networking (FY92), and now biotechnology and materials (FY93).
Last march, the Bush Administration announced that advanced manufacturing would be the focus
of its FY94 cross-cut. A concept in which many of us were active supporters.
- 7 -
W823A1
Notably, the White House has stressed for the first time the need for close industry involvement in
the manufacturing cross-cut.
Although industry's experiences in the high-performance computing and materials cross-cuts have
been a bit rocky, we at NAM have, nevertheless, accepted the Administration's challenge to
become involved in high performance manufacturing.
This private-sector critique, which makes both technology and procedural recommendations, will
help guide this federal R&D effort towards those areas more likely to benefit the overall economy.
A lot of work lies ahead, but we've made an excellent start.
Conclusion
Competition among nations has always taken many forms.
From a pre-World War II near-indifference by the Federal Government to science and research,
(except in the case of agriculture), we moved to accept that there was indeed a legitimate and
positive federal role in stimulating scientific education and advancement.
The result--nearly a half century of strong government support for science research and scientific
experimentation which has resulted in global scientific leadership. No wonder we continue to win
the most Nobel prizes for new scientific developments.
Now, because of increasing global "techno-economic" competition, it's time to do the same thing
with our technology base. We do not need massive new government-driven initiatives or
"technology-of-the-week" programs. Rather, in light of international economic and competitive
realities, we need new alternative techniques to encourage technological leadership in both
defense and non-defense areas. Let's experiment, but for our future's sake, let's cooperate -- let's
insist upon cooperation between industry, academia and government at all levels in the area of
technology creation and implementation. We have limited resources. We cannot afford to waste
a single dollar.
The authors of Beyond Spinoff conclude with these words: "New policies are needed for a world
where the United States holds no technological monopoly, and the nation should get on with the
job of creating them."
8 -
W823A1
I couldn't agree more. In doing so, however, let us make certain we remind ourselves that the best
technology policy in the world cannot thrive in an otherwise anti-business, anti-growth economic
environment. We need to focus on creating our own national wealth. Let's stop relying upon
"borrowing" the wealth that other nations create.
Thank You.

Dear Allan:
I'm sorry to have taken so long to answer the simple request in your
May 18 letter, but I have been traveling and coping with a variety of
problems continuously for the last several weeks.
I would certainly be happy to have you use the information in my letter
of April 27, 1992 in your speeches and other public presentations. I do
think there is one caution, however. Many of the cases that were used
to produce the results would have to be treated as private information
with regard to their nature and details. That is, they are not covered
by any intellectual property protection; we treat them as trade secrets.
That means that public elucidation of the details would not be possible,
so answering any such requests would present some difficulties.
If this caution will not interfere seriously with your use of the
material, I would be happy to have you use it. If queried for details,
you could refer any questioners to me, and I could provide such informa-
tion as might be appropriate at the time.
I hope this response is helpful to you. Certainly anything we can do to
increase understanding of the importance and usefulness of research and
development to our economic well-being is important.
Very truly yours,
Robert Bd A. Frosch

Invest in People, as Well as Technology: Improve managerial and
technical capabilities in receiving countries. Provide long-term training
and assistance as well as technology. Improve the quality and
availability of information through the establishment of a clearinghouse
for information on energy conservation programs and technologies.
Target Financial Assistance: Provide assistance to developing countries
during the transition phase to market-based energy pricing. Ensure
financial assistance for end-use energy efficiency investments, including
small and medium-scale industries.
A measure of the success of this program is the interest taken in the
establishment of a World Council for Energy Efficiency. At a recent forum
sponsored by the U.S. Energy Association, there was considerable enthusiasm
among the panelists, including representatives of the U.S. Agency for
International Development and the Council on Environmental Quality, for this
concept of a clearinghouse charged with dissemininating information on energy
conservation programs and technologies.
This policy paper is a significant and balanced contribution to energy policy
discussions now underway in the United States and the rest of the world, and
I am sure you will find it of interest and use.

Ladies/Gentlemen:
President George Bush has stated publicly several times that
federal support annually for research and development will
be approximately $75 billions.
We are engaged in linking small R&D type companies with
federal R&D agencies so they can broaden their base in
selected specialty fields corresponding to federal critical
technologies. We focus on 5 broad sectors: aviation,
defense, energy, environment and space. Public domain
documents (the federal budget) verify R&D funding at the
level noted above.
Our problem is trying to determine the number of existing
contracts of an R&D type which are being extended to a 2nd
or 3rd year of support and, more importantly, an estimate of
the number of new contracts planned in the following fiscal
year. Any breakdown by the usual categories for R&D would be
of interest, i.e., basic research, applied research,
advanced development, prototypes and test/evaluation.
Any reports or documents you might have concerning the above
would be appreciated. Please advice if we can clarify any
of the foregoing.
Very truly yours,
John C. Graham

Dear Dr Bromley: allan,
As you know, we are in a period of transition with respect to the
Federal High Performance Computing and Communications Program
(HPCC). The newly created National Coordination Office will be a
very important focal point in the administration of the HPCC
Program and an interface to Congress and the public. The timely
appointment of Dr. Donald Lindberg as the Director of the Office
should consolidate the leadership needed to meet the challenges of
implementing this high priority program.
The HPCC Coordination Office will be responsible for many of the
tasks previously carried out through the High Performance
Computing, Communications, and Information Technology (HPCCIT)
Subcommittee of the FCCSET Committee on Physical, Mathematical, and
Engineering Sciences. Throughout the planning for the HPCC
Coordination Office, it was envisioned that the Director of the
Office would also serve as the Chairman of the HPCCIT Subcommittee.
Therefore, with your concurrence, I nominate Dr. Lindberg to become
the Chairman of the HPCCIT Subcommittee. As specified in the
Subcommittee Charter, the term of appointment should be 1 year.
Sincerely,
Walter Wassey E. Massey

Dear
Dr Bob. White:
The National Defense Authorization Act of 1989 (P. L. 101-189) requires a national
critical technologies report to be prepared biennially. This report is to describe those
technologies considered essential for the United States to develop in the interests of the
Nation's long term security and economic prosperity. The first report was delivered to
the President in March of 1991.
I am very pleased to confirm your appointment as one of the seven public sector panel
members, as recommended by Secretary Franklin, on the second National Critical
Technologies Panel, which will have the responsibility of producing the next report by
January of 1993. The recommendation of the Panel will be very important to each of
the Federal R&D agencies that are participating in the review. The review will also be
of importance to the Administration in future budget planning.
As an introductory session of the Panel is being held today, you have already received
the packet of information with the meeting agenda and specific responsibilities of the
Panel. Subsequent meetings of the Panel will be held on Friday, November 20, and
Wednesday, December 16, 1992.
I thank you for the time and effort that you have committed to this important
undertaking. I am confident that this endeavor will yield a valuable report to help
increase awareness of the crucial role of technology in achieving our national goals.
Sincerely yours,
Man

Dear Allan,
In response to your request for a Department of Commerce official to serve on the
National Critical Technologies Panel, I am pleased to appoint our Under Secretary for
Technology, Dr. Robert M. White.
Dr. White is the Department official responsible for our activities in support of
improving U.S. industry's technology competitiveness, and our studies of critical
technologies and their economic importance. In addition, he represented the
Department on the first National Critical Technologies Panel.
I share your feelings concerning the importance of this Panel's work in furthering the
President's programs for the Nation's long-term security and economic prosperity. I
look forward to receiving the report.
Sincerely,

Dear Dr. Bromley:
It was a pleasure to meet you after the R&D 100 Award Ceremony in Chicago on 24
September. Congratulations on receiving the Executive of the year award from R&D,
and thank you for attending the ceremony.
You may recall our brief discussion about the electrochromic truck mirror
(GLARESTOPPER) and your considering an electrochromic mirror option on a new
car. Afterward, it occurred to me that we did not discuss the differences between
these products. Therefore, I am writing to clarify these differences.
The automotive electrochromic mirrors are made with electrochromic liquids or gels
between two pieces of glass. The glass is coated with a transparent and conductive
thin film to provide electrical contact. In contrast, the truck mirror for which we
received one of the R&D 100 awards is all-solid state. It is constructed as a five layer
stack, of which one is a transparent conductor on glass and another is a reflective
metal. These provide electrical contact to the electrochromic thin films sandwiched
between them.
Again, I want to thank you for attending the award ceremony. I also thank you for the
very real difference you are making as the National Science Advisor to President
Bush. I am presently engaged in learning about the National Technology Initiative and
how Donnelly Corporation might utilize this exciting initiative to grow new thin film
businesses and have concomitant growth in employment. All efforts in Science &
Technology Policy that ease, or simply make possible, real transfer of government
sponsored technology to Industry are greatly appreciated.

I am responding to your letter of August 6, 1992, to Dr. Graham, who is no longer the
Science Advisor to the President. Since mid-1989, that position has been held by Dr. D.
Allan Bromley, Director of OSTP.
We are not a funding agency, hence cannot provide any direct response to your request.
However, I have forwarded your letter to the National Science Foundation with a
request that they provide you with information concerning their Small Business
Innovation Research (SBIR) program.

RE: Computers, midi and multimedia uses and benefits.
Dear William Graham, Jr
First of all let me thank you for your support and quick
response. Through your efforts we have had a contact with Mr. Gary
A. Keel (District Director of the Charlotte, N.C. S.B.A. office).
Mr. Keel has supplied us with information concerning the SBIR Grant
program. Having reviewed this information it seems to be a
description of our companies and what we are doing. We look forward
to our second meeting with Mr. Keel on the 30th of Sept. 1992. Any
help in our pursuit of this program would be greatly appreciated.
I am aware that your mail is probably quite large SO the
following information will help refress your memory.
1. Mr. Rick Smith and Mrs. Rebecca Smith are primary stock holders
in both McDowell Computer Center, Inc. and Creative Potentials
Unleashed Inc
a. M.C.C. is a computer retail store established with the help
of an SBA loan. We have 3 full time staff members and 2 part
time. Please note our SBA loan was paid off early.
b. C.P.U. is a company formed in May of 1992. It currently is
in the early stages of marketing a new and unique midi lab
educational system that may very well revolutionize the way
music is taught and used. We would like to take this concept
into all areas of education SO that the our citizens might
take more advantage from what we could offer.
2. The reason we are seeking grant funds is to enable our small
company to compete (have the funds to research and develop cross
applications of our multimedia systems to science, math, history
and other educational uses) with the larger companies. We have
the staff to accomplish the initial research (phase one) and the
additional staff waiting (management, programmers, techs, etc. in
the wings for stage two (develop the math, science, english,
history cross applications).
As we are all aware the coming age of multimedia computer
applications is going to enhance our lives in many ways. Hopefully
as a primary change, we will see a better usage of these systems in
the educational fields. While we are a small company we have the
educational, computer, marketing and management experience and the
knowledge to be a force in this arena. That force can better all
our lives given the help of people like yourself, Mr. Keel and the
American taxpayer. We offer an opportunity for investment in U.S.
products, jobs and our future.
Thank you for your time and consideration.

Dear Dr. Browny:
The terrible devastation in the wake of hurricane "Andrew" has
shown us that we must rebuild quickly, but in a manner which will
insure that no future hurricane can ever create such havoc with the
lives of Americans. In deference to your present time constraints,
we will be brief and to the point.
WE FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT THE NEW HURRICANE

SYSTEM DEVELOPED BY DR. V. TICA OF XEL

SINGLE FAMILY HOMES, INDUSTRIAL
BUILDINGS AND TO RESTORE HOMESTEAD AIR
FORCE BASE TO BETTER THAN IT'S FORMER
GLORY, IS JUST THE "SHOT IN THE ARM" THE
DOCTOR ORDERED FOR THE BUSH REELECTION
CAMPAIGN.
It is important to note that this construction is no more costly
than most current forms of much less safe types of construction.
The urgent need for rapid construction of safe, solid housing
capable of withstanding hurricane and tornado force winds has made
us think of the many mutual advantages of our opening component
factories in the devastated areas of Louisiana and Florida.

These buildings are NOT what is known as prefabricated housing.
Rather, the quality, high strength INTERLOCKING BUILDING COMPONENTS
are produced in the factory and easily shipped to the site for
safe, rapid construction by local contractors.
We have enclosed a somewhat more detailed description of this
housing system.
If you agree that this faster and safer type of construction will
be practical for the rebuilding of the hurricane devastated areas,
including Homestead Air Force Base, please let us know what
assistance the Bush White House can provide to help us build or
rent factory space suitable for building our components adjacent to
the areas bearing the most severe devastation.
Our needs to accomplish this are modest. We would require funding
sufficient to build and operate a small hurricane and tornado proof
industrial building (or temporarily rent an existing nearby
building).
-
See EXHIBIT A.
This small factory. using three shifts. will produce sufficient
components to build four houses per dav
-
See EXHIBIT B.
Because of the dire need, we will continually increase the factory
size and level of production.
We thank you for your time and look forward to learning your level
of interest.

Dear Mrs. Perlmutter:
I want to thank you for your timely and thoughtful letter to Dr. Bromley.
As you note, helping American industries to be more efficient and competitive is one of
the Nation's greatest challenges and one of the most important responsibilities of our
office. During this Adminstration, the Office of Science and Technology Policy has
focused its efforts to foster industrial competitiveness along three directions:
(a)
We have championed a continual strengthening of the Nation's research base,
from which most of the postwar technologies of the world have sprung.
(b)
We have articulated and implemented the President's policy to foster
government-industry collaboration in the precompetitive phase of generic
technologies.
(c)
Through the Federal Coordinating Council for Science, Engineering and
Technology (FCCSET), leading officials of the Administration have made a
coordinated effort to pinpoint specific technology areas where the mission needs
of the federal agencies can be used in ways to stimulate, catalyze, and support
industrial effort to develop and deploy advanced technologies.
The efforts of FCCSET have been particularly fruitful. These have resulted in five
major Presidential initiatives, three of which are directly related to industrial
technology. These are:
High Performance Computing and Communications
Advanced Materials and Processing
Biotechnology
In addition, a major planning effort is being made to launch a new federal initiative on
Advanced Manufacturing Technology, and I expect this program to be announced in
January 1993. Certainly, there is nothing more important to the competitiveness of
American industry than having the highest possible quality manufacturing base.
The thoughts that you conveyed in your letter are very much shared by many of us in
the Administration. We are constantly exploring new ways of managing the
contributions that technology can make to a healthy economy. Your interest and
encouragement are very much appreciated.
Sincerely yours,
Eugene Associate Wong Director
for Industrial Technology

Dear Mr. Bromley,
The Office of Science and Technology Policy is in a unique position
to help improve the United State's economy and environment. By promoting
the use of cleaner, more efficient technologies in American industries,
our economy would be more competitive and our environment would be cleaner.
We must make every effort possible to encourage the use of advanced
manufacturing technologies throughout America's industrial base.
Recently, I have written to several members of Congress asking them
to sponsor an Industrial Efficiency Bill that would provide financial
incentives for investments in advanced technologies and machinery. The
Department of Commerce's Manufacturing Technology Centers are currently
assisting small and medium sized businesses to utilize new technologies.
However, these centers are presently too small and underfunded to have a
signifigant impact in the near future. What our nation desperately needs
is a large, comprehensive program to assist American industries in becoming
more efficient and competitive. I would like to know what plans your office
has for helping American industries utilize advanced technologies and thus
improve our economic and environmental future.
Now that the cold war is over, promoting economic growth while
protecting our environment, is going to be the greatest challenge facing
our nation in the years ahead. The Office of Science and Technology can
play a signifigant role in helping our nation achieve these goals.
Thank you very much for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Many Perlmutter

Dear Bob:
Dr. Bromley has asked me to reply to your letter to him concerning the High Resolution
Information Systems Advisory Board.
The legislation mandating the creation of this Board directs the Director of OSTP to
establish the Board but requires that its members be appointed by the President. OSTP
has provided its recommendations for membership on the Board and has prepared a
draft charter, but the appointment of its members is done through the Office of
Presidential Personnel, which has indicated to me that they will come to a final decision
soon.
I regret the delay in forming this advisory group but hope for an imminent resolution.
I very much enjoyed the dinner in Cleveland, and wish you the best in your new venture
with Mike Stonebraker.
With best regards,
Wom

Dear Mr. Bromley:
In May of this year, I agreed to serve on the High Resolution Information
Systems Advisory Board. I undertook this assignment with a mixture of
enthusiasm and caution. My enthusiasm was based on the firm belief that high
resolution displays are an enormously important and exciting technology. My
caution was based on some concern about the appropriate role for government in
this process.
Since agreeing to serve on the Board, I have heard nothing further
concerning activities or responsibilities. I had expected to hear something by
now, and would appreciate some form of status report concerning this activity.
Yours sincerely,
Robert D. Pavey
