PRESIDENTIAL REMARKS:
NATIONAL TECHNOLOGY INITIATIVE
CHICAGO, ILLINOIS
FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 25, 1992
Thank you, Governor Edgar, for that introduction. Illinois'
most famous son, and the first Illinois Republican, Abraham
/
Lincoln, once said that: "The struggle of today is not altogether
for today -- it is for a vast future, also."
That is why I have come to this great University, to the city
in the heart of the most confident nation on earth, to talk to you
today. In less than six weeks, you face a fundamental choice about
the America's future -- about the kind of America we will seek to
build, about the direction we will take.
A few weeks ago in Detroit, I laid out the direction in which
I hope to go -- I called my plan an Agenda for American Renewal.
My strategy is integrated -- tying economic policy and foreign
policy and domestic policy together, because, in fact, they are
related.
I put it simply: our defining challenge is to win the
economic competition, to win the peace. So my Agenda outlines the
steps we can take today to make America more competitive both now
and in the future -- and one key step is to invest in technology.
Today I want to talk to you about my program for investing in
civilian research and development. And I want to talk about how we
can speed the process through which American businesses and
entrepreneurs can turn the fruits of that R&D into successful
products and American jobs.
I included investment in civilian R&D in my Agenda for
American Renewal for a very specific reason. In the information
2
age, when capital and ideas can move around the world literally in
seconds, investments in R&D and in the technologies of tomorrow can
improve our productivity. That is the key to increasing economic
growth. And growth means an improved standard of living for the
American people.
In the old days, economists would tell you that capital and
labor were the two ingredients you needed to make the economy
produce. Today, it's universally accepted that a third ingredient
is needed: knowledge.
We need the best ideas in the world -- and we have always had
them. For decades, American scientists have produced the most
scientific literature, the most new patents, the most Nobel prizes.
And we are investing in basic research to keep that lead.
But to win today's economic competition, we need processes
?
that can speed their route from the laboratory to the marketplace.
We need investments in applied R&D. We need capital to turn the
abstract idea into the concrete reality. And we need a workforce
with the brainpower and the skills to take these technologies and
turn them into the best quality products anywhere on earth.
If we succeed in creating these building blocks, we will
succeed in creating jobs. Just look Illinois. 588,000 jobs in state
at
5 585,000
11.2
Fact
this state are tied to high technology -- that's over 11 percent
Sheet
of Illinois' work force. Illinois is America's number one
manufacturer of telecommunications equipment
The dictionary defines technology as "the application of
knowledge for practical ends." And I have come to Illinois this
3
morning with an example of technology's real life, practical
benefits.
Two years ago, we broke through a decade-long Congressional
logjam and passed a Clean Air Act that will mean better health and
cleaner air for millions of Americans. New monitors to measure
powerplant emissions made possible a trading system in sulfur
Coysnell
Ron
dioxide which will allow us to cut acid rain at a billion dollars a
year less cost to electric consumers than the old command-and-
X1067
control style regulations.
Today, I am pleased to announce the selection by EPA of the Bob
Chicago Board of Trade to run the auction and sale of these sulfur
Grady
dioxide allowances. Now they'll be traded right next to pork
bellies Through this trading system, we can harness the power of
the marketplace in the service of the environment.
That example underlines a key element of the approach we take
to technology policy. My Agenda states that we must sharpen the
competitive edge of American business, but it rests on the core
belief that the source of America's success has always been the
immense power of entrepreneurial capitalism. And that is a key
difference from the vision of my opponent in this election.
You see, Governor Clinton has also been talking about
investing in civilian R&D during this election. But my opponent's
rhetoric falls short in four key respects.
First, he puts his faith in the ability of government to pick
the right investments, to control the resources, to determine which
particular products and processes will be favored by the
bureaucrats in Washington. I want to empower the entrepreneur to
4
develop a range of products, picked not by the planner but by the
power of the marketplace.
Second, while Governor Clinton may be claiming he's going to
make the right play, Congress is intercepting the ball and running
it in the opposite direction. In each of the past four years, my Dick
R&D budget has been cut by Governor Clinton's allies in the other
Ewery
OMB
party -- the pork happy partisans on Capitol Hill.
In fact, right now, this year, the Democratic leaders in the
Congress -- with whom the Clinton campaign is consulting each and
n
every day -- have slashed my proposed increase for the National
DE/
Nexis
Science Foundation, headed by Chicago's own Walter Massey They've
zeroed out my proposed initiative in magnetically-levitated high
8
speed rail. They've reduced our investments in computers, and
advanced materials and manufacturing R&D.
And Governor Clinton's own plan -- for all his talk about $750/4/.
9
research -- would gut the foundation of America's science and

technology enterprise by cutting university reimbursements for R&D
Go
Grady
?
by $3 billion -- almost one-third. Under his plan, the ability of
great universities like the University of Chicago to conduct world-
class research would be compromised.
/
Third, the promises of Candidate Clinton don't match the
record of Governor Clinton. The most recent report card on
Tell
technology indicators, published by the Corporation for Enterprise
Development, rated Arkansas near the very bottom among states in
virtually every category. For "technology resources", Arkansas
received an "F".
5
After 12 9 years with Bill Clinton as Governor, Arkansas ranks in 1989
diplomas
48th in percentage of adults with high school students, Three-
quarters of Arkansas' high school graduates need remedial education
when they get to college. ((so it's hard for Bill Clinton to talk
about high tech when the residents of his state have to worry about
getting out of high school.))
Finally, and most importantly, he proposes to finance his many
promises with a massive tax increase that will smother the very
growth on which our success depends. I had a Freudian slip the
other day and called Governor Clinton "Governor Taxes."
Tell
Well, Bill Clinton has proposed the tax
largest increase in Reagen/Bush
$152b
American history,
$150 billion, and that's just for starters. To
pay for his other promises, he will tax small businesses -- the
main source of jobs in our economy and heroes of high technology.
So let's be clear: Bill Clinton's high tax policies will kill high
tech businesses.
What it comes down to is this. America is at a crossroads.
For the first time in 50 years, our country is involved today in no
major conflicts, anywhere on earth. We face an unprecedented
opportunity. And there are two directions we can take.
The direction I propose, at its heart, is future-oriented,
outward looking. I do not believe that Americans should fear
competition. Because I believe we can compete and win. So I have
worked to open markets, to get our work force ready to compete,
and, both as a government and as a society, to invest in the
future.
In short, I believe we should compete, not retreat. * Superionductors
6
And I believe we can do it without a massive expansion of the
Federal government that reaches into the pocket of every American
taxpayer.
Let me talk about the elements of this competition. First,
open markets. My opponent says America is in decline. But the
fact is that we are winning new markets for American goods and
services right now. Just look at our export performance over these
past four years. We have increased exports by 40%. We have gained
David
worldwide market share in manufacturing output. Our exports to
Walters
VSTR
Japan have grown 12 times faster than our imports. And high tech
exports have led the way. Since 1987, our trade surplus in
82.1
PF
advanced technology products has grown by more than 80%. So I have
a message for the pessimists: we can compete, and we can win.
For us to continue to win new markets for America, we need a
more open world trading regime. So we have worked to complete the
Peter
North American Free Trade Agreement -- NAFTA -- which will create
Fernelli
almost 200,000 jobs right here in the United States. We have
USTR
worked for a successful conclusion of the Uruguay round. We have
PF
completed individual agreements to open markets in Japan, Korea,
Mexico, and countries around the world.
Those agreements have protected intellectual property rights,
and with it them the incentive to generate new ideas and create new
88-91
products. The results have been striking: exports to Mexico are
PF
61%
17
up
66% in just 4 years. / Our exports to Japan have grown 12 times
88-92
as fast as our imports -- and the fastest growth has been in the
Advation
Annualized
sectors we have worked to open, such as computers, satellites,
106%
telecommunications equipment.
88-91
61%
7
Now my opponent has waffled on NAFTA. He would risk our Tell
ability to expand trade by supporting anti-trade legislation on
8
Capitol Hill. And his tax on foreign investment in the United
States will not only lock out high wage, high skill jobs -- it will
invite retaliation that will undercut the growth in exports which
is so key to the growth in the economy.
Let's talk about education -- preparing our children to meet
the challenges of the 21st century economy. Governor Clinton has
Tell
said that we've reduced investment in education. He is wrong.
Education this year got the biggest increase in my budget -- it's
up 41% over 1989. And we've placed a particular emphasis on math DE
and science education, which has been increased by over 130
69% over 1989
percent.
Our math science education initiative will use Federal assets John
Yonner
21
to help train over 770,000 teachers in the math and science skills DOED.
they need to teach our kids. But we've gone beyond that to true
reform of education -- stressing standards, accountability, and
choice. Because I believe that parents have a right to know which
schools are performing best, and they should have the right to
choose which schools will serve their children best, whether or religious, it's public, private,
And let's talk about investing in the future. We've been
working to promote the technologies that will make us more
competitive in the future. But it's time to set the record
straight on this. The Governor, unchallenged by these enterprising
Tell
reporters with us here today from the national media, has said that
we've "reduced investment in civilian R&D." That is simply untrue.
8
Here is the record. My budget this year would increase
civilian R&D by 44% over 1989 levels. Civilian basic research is
23
up
36%
And applied civilian R&D is up 49%. So when the Governor
talks about investing in civilian R&D, the fact is we're already
doing it.
Let me explain what we're doing.
Two years ago, we pulled every Federal agency together to
launch a new program to develop the supercomputers of tomorrow --
24
computers 1000 times more powerful than today's. Our vision is to
develop a supercomputer the size of a desktop PC -- and to do it
within four years.
We also proposed a nationwide communications network -- an
25
information backbone that will transmit 1000 times more information
than we can today in one second. / This year, we've proposed over
ove- last Y/:
$800 million, a 23% increase for this High Performance Computing
and Communications initiative.
Last year, we launched another crosscutting technology plan --
27
an investment of over $1.8 billion in the materials of tomorrow.
These new kinds of materials will help us make products that are
stronger, lighter, and faster -- everything from cars to airplanes
to military equipment.
We've launched a $4 billion program in biotechnology
research -- and proposed to knock down the regulatory barriers that
might prevent technologies in this area from helping us to cure
disease, grow more crops, and clean up the environment.
We're using technology to tackle an unfortunate legacy of the
Cold War --- the environmental problems left from making weapons
9
that defended freedom around the globe. Winning the peace means
managing dangerous materials more effectively. Today, we're using
the scientific expertise of the Federal labs -- whose scientists
first devised these bombs -- to find new technologies for stopping
weapons proliferation, and for protecting our children from
environmental threats.
I'm here today, however, because a successful strategy for
winning the economic competition requires more than just investment
in R&D -- whether basic or applied. In a fast paced X world of
with
shorter product cycles and faster communications, the key to
victory is moving ideas and technológies from the laboratory bench
to the commercial marketplace faster than ever before.
That's what this National Technology Initiative, or NTI, is Barb.
Franklin
all about. This is the eleventh NTI meeting we've had -- each in a
Memo
different part of the country; each designed to help speed the
transfer of technology from our Federal labs and universities to
the private and commercial sector.
We're working to make it easier to deal with the Federal
government as a. partner. If you attend the workshops and visit the
technology fair, you'll get a window on today's opportunities, and
an early start on tomorrow's successes.
One year ago, I directed the Secretaries of Commerce and
Energy to increase the number of cooperative research and
development agreements signed between our Federal facilities and
Loss
private partners. These CRADAs ((CRAY-DAHS)), as they are called,
help speed the transfer of the most promising technologies to the
10
private sector -- so they can be developed into commercial products
and services.
And in the one year since that directive was issued -- we've
SOE
doubled the number of these agreements. There are now more than
1,400 operating and in place. Computers. Ceramics. Environmental
cleanup. We are achieving an unprecedented level of success in
taking the best ideas from our labs and turning them into American
products and American jobs.
Today we are signing several new breakthrough agreements. One
involves two Federal labs and three private industry partners --
SOE
32
working to determine the right mix for burning pelletized trash
"
"
along with coal to generate electricity. 1 The results will be
cleaner air, less trash in our landfills, and more jobs in
Illinois.
A second will bring the Oak Ridge National Lab together with
IBM to extend America's leadership in High Performance Computing.
33
The third involves a partnership between General Motors and the
National Institute of Standards and Technology -- NIST -- to
develop new software to solve problems in automated manufacturing
equipment.
These agreements provide rules of the road, protection of
patents and intellectual property, and other understandings -- so
that technology transfer is not a concept but a job-producing
reality.
Our program reflects a fundamental belief about the path to
successful technology development. Our efforts to transfer
technology from the labs, to invest in the most promising
11
technologies of tomorrow, have recognized the fact that the private
sector must commercialize these technologies.
To help in that task, to spread information about best
practices and new processes, my Administration has also established
BF
seven Manufacturing Technology Centers around the country. These MEMO
will introduce new equipment and improve manufacturing processes
for small and medium-sized firms. Since 1989, more than 6,000
BF
MEMO
companies have used the services provided by these centers -- and
we plan to start up four more next year.
In next year's budget, we will launch a new cross-cutting
Bob
Grdy
36
initiative to increase our investment in R&D into new technologies
to advance the manufacturing process. Today's factories face a
different set of challenges from those a generation ago. In the
face of fast changing requirements, more flexibility is needed.
We want to advance the development of systems and software, of
robotics and artificial intelligence, to make this flexibility
possible for all kinds of companies. The government will help with
technological leaps -- so that the American firms can leap ahead in
the marketplace.
One of the most quintessentially American figures of our time,
37
John Wayne, once said that: "Tomorrow is the most important thing
in life. "
When the shouting is finished, when the campaign winds down to
its end, it will come down to a very personal and serious decision
for every American. What kind of tomorrow do you want?
Do you want a tomorrow in which we look forward and take on
the competition, or one in which we turn inward in retreat?
12
Do you want a tomorrow in which we invest in the technologies
that can make us more competitive, or in which we allow the patrons
of the past to spend our future away?
Do you want a tomorrow in which work and innovation are
rewarded, or in which we turn back down the path of higher taxes
and more regulation?
When Americans step into that booth this year, they will
face a fundamental choice about the kind of future they want. I
have come to Chicago today to offer my ideas for a future full of
promise. A future in which America works, America competes, and
America wins.
I ask you to join me in this future.
Thank you, God bless you, and God bless the United States of
America.

REMARKS BY THE PRESIDENT
AT MEMPHIS WELCOME
Craigmont High School
Memphis, Tennessee
7:45 P.M. CDT
THE PRESIDENT: Thank you. (Applause.) Thank you
very much. What a wonderful welcome.
AUDIENCE: Four more years! Four more years!
THE PRESIDENT: Thank you all very much. And may I
salute at first Congressman Sundquist. You're lucky, you've got.
a great member of the United States Congress. (Applause.) And
Barbara Bush off on some other part of the campaign trail sends
her love to Martha Sundquist, the great wife of Don. And may I
say how pleased I am to have been introduced by one of the truly
great members of the Cabinet, a man who served this country with
such distinction, a national leader for education, Governor Lamar
Alexander. What a class act. (Applause.)
And may I thank and salute Dr. House, the
Superintendent of the schools here in Memphis; Dr. Langsdon, the
Shelby County GOP and B/Q -- the Bush-Quayle Chairman in '92.
And may I single out Dr. Walters -- (applause) -- I didn't know
kids clapped that much for a principal, but you're right, she is
outstanding. (Applause.) And also Jakene Ashford, who greeted
me earlier, the student body president. You've got a class-act
president of this school, too. (Applause.)
You know, I left the White House at 6:40 a.m. this
morning. We started out on the campaign trail in Springfield,
Missouri. And this is the sixth state we've visited in just a
little over 12 hours. But, you know, I can't think of a better
place to finish this day than Memphis, Tennessee, home of the
blues -- (applause) -- home of the wet and dry ribs, the old
South and the new pyramid. And, of course, the home of Elvis
himself. (Applause.) Rest assured I'm talking about Elvis
Presley, not Elvis Clinton. (Applause.)
You know, for the past few weeks I've been all
across America stumping for the economic ideas I believe in. We
call it the Agenda for American Renewal. And I want to open new
markets for American products, create jobs for American workers
-- (applause) -- because -- don't listen to the other side --
Americans never retreat; we always compete and we always win.
That is the American spirit. (Applause.)
If you listen to that Clinton-Gore ticket, you think
everything is wrong. And this morning new figures came out.
Housing starts are up, the largest increase in a year and a half.
(Applause.) Inflation is under control. Interest rates remain
low. And I believe the stage is set after a long, begrudging
anemic growth set for an economic recovery if we make the right
choices in November. I need four more years to finish the job.
(Applause.)
AUDIENCE: Four more years! Four more years!
THE PRESIDENT: That's what we want.
MORE
2
You know, the choice before the American people is
really clear: Governor Clinton has already started with is
program. He wants more government and higher taxes. That is bad
for America.
AUDIENCE: B0000001
THE PRESIDENT: And I believe in something
completely different, and so does Don. I believe that government
is too big and spends too much of your money, and I want to cut
taxes and provide incentives to get this economy moving again.
(Applause.)
You know, small business will be the horse pulling
the wagon on our recovery economy. And SO I want to give
small businesses relief from taxation and regulation and
litigation. (Applause.)
You know, parents don't coach Little League for
fear, people don't -- doctors don't deliver babies for fear.
Today Americans spend up to $200 billion a year on lawyers and
lawsuits. And I think it's crazy. As a nation we've got to sue
each other less and care for each other more. (Applause.)
But as I -- I have one wish above all others,
though, and as I look out at the young faces in this audience I
think of the potential of our great country and of the challenge
of our schools. And your great Governor, Lamar, puts our
challenge in education this way: when the fifth graders graduate
from high school they will have changed so much we will barely
recognize them. But for our young people to succeed our schools
will have to change so much that we barely recognize them either.
And that's why I am so excited about America 2000
movement -- the program to literally revolutionize education in
this country. (Applause.) And I am excited about our new
American schools, about our higher standard for students, about
freeing teachers from government bureaucracy, and about giving
every parent the choice to choose the best school for their child
to learn in. (Applause.)
And SO one of the reasons I came here to this
wonderful institution is to say thanks to Memphis, because you
are the big part, a major part of America 2000. You are a leader
in a revolution that is changing America from the schoolyard
right on up. (Applause.) And so to the parents and the teachers
and the business leaders and the community activists, I say
thanks for caring about the kids: thanks for being loyal to
Memphis's future.
And of course, there's another reason I came here
today. As one or two of you may have heard, there's an election
coming up in November. And I have been traveling all across
America making my case for our renewal agenda. And while I've
been outlining my positive ideas for the future, Bill Clinton has
been chosen to focus his energy on the past. And literally --
you go back now -- a lot of you are students about government and
politics -- month after month, for the last 11 months, Governor
Clinton has persisted in attacking me, distorting my record. And
this week he unveiled the campaign's first negative commercial.
He's been saying, oh, wait until the Republicans go
negative. It is the Clinton-Gore ticket that has aired the first
national negative ads.
AUDIENCE: Booo --
THE PRESIDENT: NOW, I have a confession to make. I
haven"t talked much about h:is record because I think the American
people would rather hear a positive discussion about what we'll
do to renew America. (Applause.) But I will also admit that I'm
MORE
a little tired of having my own record distorted, and I think
it's time we don't just listen to what he says, but take a look
at what Governor Clinton does. (Applause.)
And that is what I've been doing today. That's
exactly what I've been doing today, from Missouri to Oklahoma to
Texas to Louisiana to Mississippi, and now in the great state of
Tennessee, pointing out the facts -- (applause) -- pointing out
the facts, no exaggeration -- about Governor Clinton's record on
economic fairness, on civil rights or lack thereof; on the
environment; on health care. And over and over, you see the same
pattern emerging -- Governor Clinton promises the moon to America
while the sky is falling in on Arkansas. (Applause.)
And regrettably regrettably for the young people
in that state -- the wonderful young kids across the way in
Arkansas -- education is no different. In his new book,
candidate Clinton says America has failed to provide its children
with either the best education or adequate protection from
violence. And I disagree. I am proud of what we've done to
promote America 2000. (Applause.) And I am especially proud of
the leadership of that great son of Tennessee, Lamar Alexander.
(Applause.)
And, yes, sure. Governor Clinton -- candidate
Clinton -- is critical of our record. But what has Governor
Clinton done? And here are the facts. Let me give it to you.
You're not going to like it, on behalf of your friends in
Arkansas, but here's the record. Here are the facts. pure and
simple.
During the 1980s, Arkansas fell from 47th to 48th
place in percentage of adults with a high school diploma.
Arkansas's rankings on its primary college entrance exam. the
ACT, have declined. Twenty-eight states use the ACT as their
primary college entrance test. The New York Times reported that
in 1979, Arkansas ranked 20th out of those 28. In its latest
ranking, it's down to 25th out of 28. While we're going up in
the nation, he's going down in the state of Arkansas.
AUDIENCE: Booo.
THE PRESIDENT: And it is not fair to the young
people there. It is not fair to the young families across the
way. And we know that more than three-quarters of Arkansas high
school graduates require remedial instruction when they get to
college. Think about that. Three out of four Arkansas college
students spend their first year of college relearning what they
missed in high school. That is not fair to the families of
Arkansas.
And when it comes to the percentage of adults with a
college degree, Governor Clinton's Arkansas still ranks 50th --
50th in the entire nation.
Now, these are facts, pure and simple. And you can
see there's a grand canyon by what candidate Clinton says about
improving education and what Governor Clinton has actually done.
And if you believe as I do -- if you believe
education is important, I ask you to look beyond the rhetoric.
Look at the record. And I have fought for higher standards. I
have fought for less regulation. I have fought to reinvent our
schools. And I have fought for parental choice. These ideas are
not popular in all places. But if you care about education, I
think you must look at the two candidates and ask yourself a
simple question: When it comes to reforming our schools, which
candidate will tell America what it wants to hear, and which will
tell America what it needs to hear? (Applause.)
Enough talk -- enough talk of politics for the day.
It's been a long, long day. It's been a wonderful day. And as
MORE

you can imagine, campaigns can be grueling. And once in a while
I'll get home, you know, after midnight, after being attacked in
the press and the craziest mood I've every seen out there. And
Barbara will ask me this simple question: You know, we've got a
good life; we've got a wonderful family. Why do you put up with
it? And I'll tell you why I put up with it, why I want four more
years: I want it for the children, for the bright-faced kids I
see on their parents' shoulders at rallies all across the nation.
(Applause.) For the young people right here tonight.
(Applause.)
Don Sundquist tells me that there are six young
people from Russia with us this evening. (Applause.) And
they're part of an exchange program. And think about it. Think
about how 10 years ago such a program might never be possible.
Think about how five years ago, these very kids sat halfway
around the world knowing nothing of our world, but fearing,
as our own families, our own kids did, that the world they knew
might be destroyed in a moment with the mere press of a finger on
a button. Well, that terrible, awful, nightmare has receded from
our children's minds. And today (applause) -- and today these
Russian kids can join with Memphis kids and they can read stories
together and play basketball and laugh at the same jokes and
share the same sweet memories and think of all that has happened
to make this possible.
In another time, in another age, Thomas Paine wrote
these simple words: "We have the power to begin the world
again." Well, we have begun our world again. And our new world
is a world of hope, it's a world of promise, a world of peace, a
world of unprecedented opportunity. And I want our children to
realize the magic of this new world, to believe in miracles, just
as we can look at our Russian friends here tonight and say
"Miracles have finally come true." (Applause.)
And if we can renew the world and I take great
pride in the fact that our administration has literally changed
the world, made peace a reality and not a dream: made democracy
on the march, made tranquility around the world something real
and something we can touch and feel and if we can change the
world, then I have no doubt that we can renew America. And we
can strengthen our economy, we can reinvent our schools.
And there is much work to be done, and I believe I
am the leader to do it. (Applause.) And that is why I am
running for reelection, and that is why I ask for your support.
And don't ever let the Governor from across the way convince you
that we are a nation in decline. We are the most respected,
freest, greatest nation on the face of the Earth, and I want to
lead you for four more years. (Applause.)
Thank you, and may God bless the United States of
America. Thank you very, very much. (Applause.)

Chief, Technology and Competitiveness
Subject:
Illinois Technology Initiatives
Date:
Sept. 23, 1992
This note will give you a summary of the topics we discussed on ,e
telephone as well as some additional details on technology/competitiveness
programs that were started during the Thompson administration and continued
during the Edgar administration.
Apropos, to the meeting at the University of Chicago, the U of C is a
national leader in an i: vative program aimed at getting the technology
developed at universities and the national laboratories out into the
commercial domain where these technologies will help make American
businesses more competitive. The University of Chicago, working with ARCH
(ARgonne CHicago) uses graduate students to comb through technical
disclosures to find inventions and processes that are worthy of
commercialization. ARCH then invests private sector money to build
companies around this technology. A key ingredient of this initiative is
the use of the private sector market forces to commercialize the technology
created and developed in academia and government. It is an example of a
partnership that allows institutions and private sector organizations to
exploit their core competencies to promote economic development. This
program was started in March, 1986.
This model of using technology for economic growth recently received broad
coverage in the Wall Street Journal (copy attached).
Illinois superconductor, an ARCH founded company recently was profiled in
the Wall Street Journal. The Journal wrote about how one of the commercial
uses of the technology is related to improving the way cryogenic liquids
are monitored when used in conjunction with tissue samples. Another
company, Nioptics, uses revolutionary optics principles to imprc the
lighting of laptop computer screens and certain copying machines.
A page on the National Science Foundation Centers in Illinois is attached.
Note that only California has as many centers as Illinois.
Illinois is a high tech state. in 1991, 585,000 Illinoisans were employed
in high tech companies 11.2 % the total employment. Illinois is 5th
in the country in the total number of people employed in these good,
rewarding jobs. In electronics alone, where Illinois ranks sixth in the

country, growth in the number of jobs in 1990 was 7.5%, the largest in the
country.
Illinois leads the nation in the number of jobs in companies that
manufacture telecommunications equipment. Employing 36,944 Illinoisans in
telecommunications, Illinois is well positioned to benefit from trends in
the '90's in which increased use of advanced telecommunications will be
called upon to support competitiveness. Simultaneously, Illinois will
benefit from environmental quality improvement by taking the work to the
people and not necessarily the people to the work. of the environment.
Illinois has created several partnerships to exploit technology as a
foundation for economic development. The Technology Challenge Grant
program, begun during the Thompson administration funded $44 million in
projects during the last three Illinois Fiscal Years. The Technology
Challenge Grant program has as its mission to help bring federal research
projects t Illinois and to develop technology programs capable of
commercialization. An independent review panel, organized to review the
effectivéness of the program, found that for every Illinois dollar put into
the program, close to 6 dollars of federal and private sector money was
put to work. As an example of how a state/federal partnership can work,
66% of the funds attracted to Illinois by the Technology Challenge Grant
program came from the federal government. Many of the Technology Challenge
Grant projects helped get research out _f the laboratory to the
marketplace. Also, the program was successful in stimulating small to
medium size Illinois companies to adopt technology as a vehicle to enhance
their commercial competitiveness. During only the first two years of the
program, 150 Illinois companies and their employees benefitted from the
program.
In addition to Technology Challenge, Illinois has run several programs
aimed at improving competitiveness through technology. These include a
high tech incubator program in which fledgling technology based companies
can be nurtured to enhance their growth during their critical start up
periods, and Technology Venture Investment Program, where Illinois invests
along with private sector investors in promising technology based, early
stage companies. As these companies become successful, Illinois can put
its investment money back to work in addition to enjoying the benefits of
economic development. In addition to helping the Illinois economy through
investments in technology creation, Illinois has worked hard in helping
companies apply technology through the Technology Challenge Grant program
(as described above) and through the Modernization and Assessment Grant
Program and the Modernization and Retooling Loan program. Both of these
programs put state resources to work to assist companies determine where
they are with respect to technology application and further assisted with
low cost loans, to implement modernization plans.
Governor Edgar has also taken the lead in organizing partnerships to define
further specific opportunities for Illinois. The Task Force on
Telecommunications gave the Governor a series of recommendations that are
now being implemented under his leader_hip and he has asked for a similar

SUBJECT:
CHICAGO NATIONAL TECHNOLOGY INITIATIVE
Given the strong possibility that President Bush will be
attending the National Technology Initiative (NTI) conference in
Chicago on September 25, I thought you might be interested in the
most recent figures documenting the tremendous impact that the
NTI is having on spurring a creative partnership between
government and industry.
According to August 1992 figures, since President Bush
launched the NTI in January, the number of Cooperative Research
and Development Agreements, or "CRADAs," that federal agencies
have entered into with the private sector has jumped dramatically
to about 1400. This new information should be of note to media
who are interested in "hard figures" to substantiate the impact
of the President's "market pull" approach to technology.
As you know, the National Technology Initiative conference
should provide the President with a significant opportunity to
elaborate on how his policies and programs -- ranging from the
Advanced Technology Program to Manufacturing Technology Centers
-- promote jobs and economic growth. To date, more than 3,500
participants have attended the first 10 NTI conferences, which
focus on informing businesses about the wealth of resources
available in 700 federal laboratories on areas ranging from
energy, environment and aerospace to biology and defense.
