Statement of Elmer B. Staats, Comptroller General of the United States before the Subcommittee on Domestic and International Scientific Planning and Analysis of the House Committee on Science and Technology on Research and Development and the Economy

Abstract

My statement is addressed primarily to four major issues. These are: --To what extent do research and development of the Federal Government and the private sector affect the U.S. economy and its position in the world economy?--What should be the respective roles of government, especially the Federal Government, and the private sector and how can we establish a better climate for utilizing our nationwide scientific and technological resources to meet national needs and to insure our international leadership and competitiveness?--How can we improve the decision process in the Federal Government for establishing policies and priorities for resource allocation and for dealing with issues that transcend the purview of individual agencies and components of the private sector?--How can the Federal Government foster increased application of science and technology to the solution of State and local government problems ?
