"This article summarizes some of the findings of an OECD Scientific and 

 Technical Information Policy Group set up 'to identify the main policy issues 

 on scientific and technical information and the scope for international co- 

 operation in deaUng with them.' The Group has shown the need for the fol- 

 lowing kinds of national and international action: (1) 'Identification of priority 

 areas for international cooperation, and of the consequent policy issues and 

 action for national bodies' ; (2) .'Cooperation in building up new international 

 systems,' and (3) A 'concerted approach to common problems.' "

 Technology Transfer. New York, Spartan Books, 1970. 



After assessing several factors important to U.S. technology transfer 

 policies, the author proposes an international technology agency to "exercise 

 surveillance at crucial points." "A framework is developed enabling American 

 and foreign interests to learn to live with efficient technology transfer and 

 adaptation requiring tradeoffs at the interfaces."
