mounting opposition to military aid. We believe, and many of the experts 

 agree, that these findings do not mean that the public is no longer concerned 

 with international issues but is quite sensibly giving its limited attention to 

 matters of immediate importance. Moreover, attitudes toward energy and 

 food sharing, trade and foreign economic assistance are not negative when the 

 fairness factor is taken into account."

"Our ability successfully to look forward in the conduct of our foreign 

 relations rests, in large part, upon how we develop and use our resources 

 for research and analysis. At present, these are broadly diffused in both 

 the public and private sectors; a number of stresses and strains indicate 

 that they are not as effectively deployed and utilized as they could be. 

 Improvements are possible on many fronts. Attention here is on the infor- 

 mation, research, and analysis needs of the U.S. Government, with par- 

 ticular attention to the Department of State. The Department's Bureau 

 of Intelligence and Research (INR) occupies a pivotal position. A sub- 

 stantial increase in its capabilities would have many desirable consequences. 

 Among these are: enrichment of INR's own influential analytical research 

 efforts; stimulation and support of the academic search for more coherent 

 and socially relevant knowledge; assurance that the Department will derive 

 the maximum analytical benefit from a modem information-handling c<j's- 

 tem; expanded opportunities to train Foreign Service officers in analytical 

 methods; more balanced and efficacious programs of Government contract 

 and grant support for foreign affairs research; and more systematic policy 

 review and development in support of planning."

 Technological Affairs, made before the Subcommittee on Science, Research, and

This article is a reprint of a statement made by Herman Pollack, Acting 

 Director, International Scientific and Technological Affairs, Department of 

 State, in support of a bill to amend the charter of the National Science Foun- 

 dation to give the agency a more active role in support of international 

 scientific activities. In explaining his support for this proposal Mr. Pollack 

 discussed potential international political benefits resulting from an increase 

 in U.S. international scientific activities. He elaborated upon the need for 

 interdisciplinary research to meet today's problems and discussed NSF sup- 

 port of directing appropriate people to the Department of State's interna- 

 tional science office and State's seminar training programs for diplomats 

 involved in international science affairs.
