The International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis. — The 

 International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis was established 

 in Vienna in 1972. The Office of International Programs, NSF, sup- 

 ports U.S. participation through grants awarded to NAS, the U.S. 

 adhering agency, which selects American governmental and nongovern- 

 mental scientific participants. Approximately $1 million (estimated) 

 was awarded to the Academy for this purpose in both 1972 and 1973.^^* 



The Institute, which is nongovernmental and international, orig- 

 inated in discussions between high-level scientific and governmental 

 officials. ^^ President Nixon outlined the importance of U.S. participa-

 Administration. McGeorge Bundy discussed this concept with Sir Solly Zuckerman, and Mr. D. M. Gvish- 

 iani of the Soviet Union and other prominent officials in Western Europe. The concept was also discussed 

 with members of Congress before officials of other countries were asked about the establishment of this kind 

 of Institute. The Director of the Foundation has also discussed this concept with the members of both the- 

 House and Senate Committees" (.1S72 National Science Foundation Authorization: Hearings, op. cit., p. 265.)
