President Clinton
established the National Science and Technology Council
on November 23, 1993. This cabinet-level council is the principal means for the President to coordinate science, space, and technology policies across the Federal government.
By
Executive Order 12881, President Clinton directed the NSTC to:
- Coordinate the science and technology policy making and implementation process across federal agencies;
- Ensure that science and technology policy decisions are consistent with the President's stated goals;
- Ensure that science and technology issues are considered in the development and implementation of Federal policies and programs;
- Further international cooperation in science and technology activities.
An important objective of the NSTC is the establishment of clear national goals for Federal science and technology investments in areas ranging from information technologies and health research, to improving transportation systems and strenghtening fundamental research. The Council prepares research and development strategies that are coordinated across federal agencies to form an investment package that is aimed at accomplishing multiple national goals.
A private sector
President's Committee of Advisors on Science and Technology
assists the Council to ensure that Federal science and technology policies reflect the full spectrum of the Nation's needs.
