This is a news report on a two-day OECD ministerial conference on 

 Science and Technology in the Management of Complex Problems. Several 

 important themes were raised: the need to give greater recognition to 

 the potential of the social sciences in solving the world's problems; the 

 allocation of more scientific research resources to the social sciences; the need 

 for more public awareness of the purposes and utility of science ; the need for 

 studies of natural resources management; and improved methods to secure 

 technology transfer.

"This dissertation is an examination of the science policy programs of the 

 Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development. It centers on 

 OECD's ability to provide a sharp focus on a central question, namely, what 

 are the basic problems in the relationship of science and technology to public 

 poHcy? Addresses also the shift in OECD science policy activities from look- 

 ing at the benefits to the disadvantageous consequences of investment in some 

 aspects of technology."

". . . NATO . . . sponsored 56 conferences on science subjects in 

 1972 in order to gain 'social respectability and prestige.' This sponsorship is 

 'totally unnecessary' as 60 percent of its science money is returned to agen- 

 cies in member countries to administer and many of its programs duplicate 

 other programs in these countries. ... If an overtly international pro- 

 gramme of science support is . . . desirable, it would be . . . preferable 

 to . . . hand over the NATO scheme to some . . . nonmilitarv organi- 

 zation such as UNESCO. However Paul Henri Spaak, NATO's 1957 Secre- 

 tary General, believed that NATO's support of science would 'strengthen 

 the Alliance and its political substance.' Perhaps, a little 'social respectability 

 and prestige' are needed to overcome antimilitarj^ prejudices toward NATO."
