SCIENCE, RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT, 1963-69 J 55 



meeting was co-chaired by Chairman Miller and Senator Henry M. 

 Jackson, chairman of the Senate Committee on Interior and Insular 

 Affairs. Basic presentations were made by a wide representation of 

 Federal officials plus Laurance S. Rockefeller, chairman of the Citizens 

 Advisory Committee on Recreation and Natural Beauty, and Don K. 

 Price of Harvard University. 



The House and Senate committees sponsoring the colloquium 

 jointly published a "Congressional White Paper on a National Policy 

 for the Environment." Included in the white paper was a specific 

 declaration of national environmental policy. Another evidence of 

 the effect of the Science and Astronautics Committee on public policy 

 was the inclusion of elements of the white paper's policy declaration 

 into the Environmental Policy Act of 1969, with the assistance of 

 Senator Jackson, a coauthor of the act. 



INTERNATIONAL SCIENCE 



The very personal interest of Chairman Miller and Chairman 

 Daddario in the international aspects of science policy drew them 

 to visit a large number of international conferences, as well as to 

 lend encouragement to foreign scientific projects in Europe, Asia, 

 Africa, South America, and Australia. Despite the heavy burden of 

 hearings and reports while Congress was in session, both Miller and 

 Daddario managed to take at least one foreign trip per year and also 

 keep closely in touch with developments and personalities in other 

 countries and on an international scale. 



Until the establishment by Chairman Miller of the Subcom- 

 mittee on International Cooperation in Science and Space, chaired by 

 Representative Don Fuqua of Florida, commencing in 1971, the 

 Daddario subcommittee handled all issues pertaining to international 

 science. 



At the request of the Daddario subcommittee, the Science 

 Policy Research Division of the Library of Congress, in conjunction 

 with the Foreign Affairs Division, prepared a report on "The Partic- 

 ipation of Federal Agencies in International Scientific Programs' ' 

 which was published in January of 1967. The report was used exten- 

 sively by the subcommittee as background information in preparing 

 for the committee's eighth panel on "Government, Science and 

 International Policy," held on January 24-25, 1967, and keynoted by 

 Secretary of State Dean Rusk.
