1970 (the latest year for which such data are 

 available). In terms of constant dollars, how- 

 ever, only the petroleum, machinery, and 

 professional and scientific instruments indus- 

 tries indicated increases in 1970. 



Industry-funded R&D in 1972 was con- 

 centrated in development activities which re- 

 ceived 73 percent of the total funds as compared 

 with 22 percent for applied research and 4 per- 

 cent for basic research. This composition 

 changed continuously over the decade toward 

 more development (from 68 to 73 percent), less 

 applied research (from 25 to 22 percent), and less 

 basic research (from 7 to 4 percent). These long- 

 term shifts do not appear to have been accel- 

 erated by recent funding changes.
