grams, the relationships among the concerned Government agencies, 

 and those between the agencies and the research scientists. The hear- 

 ings also helped put in proper perspective the sometimes overambitious 

 desires and demands of certain of the program's sponsors." 



OTHER INTERNATIONAL ACTIVITIES 



The Daddario subcommittee recommended that the ninth meeting 

 of the Panel on Science and Technology concentrate on "Applied Sci- 

 ence and World Economy" with attention to themes like the geograph- 

 ical distribution of technical resources and the market mechanism. 

 The panel, keynoted by George D. Woods, president of the Inter- 

 national Bank for Reconstruction and Development met on January 23- 

 24, 1968. 



In December 1967, after an exchange of correspondence between 

 Chairman Miller and Senator John J. Connolly, leader of the Govern- 

 ment in the Canadian Senate, many discussions were held concerning 

 the establishment of a scientific committee in Canada. Chairman Miller 

 then invited the members of the proposed Canadian committee to a 

 joint meeting. 



On May 8, 1969, an informal coordinating meeting was held in 

 Washington, D.C., between the Canadian committee and the Daddario 

 subcommittee. The main items of discussion were science policy, 

 budget and planning. This meeting was a prelude to firmer relation- 

 ships with scientific efforts throughout the Canadian Government in 

 the 1970's. 



MANAGEMENT OF FEDERAL SCIENTIFIC ACTIVITIES 



In the latter years of the 1960's, as the pressure of military ex- 

 penditures in Vietnam began to take its toll on the budgets of Federal 

 agencies engaged in scientific activities, the Daddario subcommittee 

 began to assess how Federal resources could be used more effectively. 

 Daddario brought up before the Research Management Advisory 

 Panel in September 1967, the roles of the various Government labora- 

 tories and the best possible use, and possible reallocation, of money, 

 manpower and facilities. 



Following hearings in March and April 1968, the subcommittee 

 recommended in October 1969, that there be greater interagency use of 

 Federal laboratories. 



At the request of the subcommittee, the Science Policy Research 

 Division produced a report on "Centralization of Federal Science 

 Activities" which was the subject of additional hearings from July 

 through October of 1969.
