1054 HISTORY OF THE COMMITTEE ON SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY 



The annual reports of the agencies with which this history deals, the official 

 budget documents produced annually, the reports of the General Accounting Office, 

 of Technology Assessment and Congressional Research Service are vital sources 

 tor an understanding of what happened and why. In recent years, the publications 

 of the Congressional Budget Office have become increasingly important. Needless to 

 sav, the hearings and reports of the House and Senate committees, dealing with 

 subject matter closely related to the work of the Science Committee, cannot be over- 

 looked. This is particularly true of the actions of the House and Senate appropria- 

 tions committees, and their conference reports, dealing with authorization legisla- 

 tion initially voted by the Science Committee and also dealing with related legislation. 



Presidential statements, messages, texts of news conferences, addresses, and 

 other official actions are contained in the "Weekly Compilation of Presidential 

 Documents," and annually published by the National Archives and Records Service 

 in "Public Papers of the Presidents of the United States." The "Federal Register" is 

 the official source for executive orders, official regulations and other announcements. 



4. DOCTORAL DISSERTATIONS 



Two doctoral dissertations were particularly helpful in compiling this history: 

 James R. Kerr, "Congressmen as Overseers: Surveillance of the Space Program," 

 Stanford University, 1963; and Thomas P. Jahnige, "Congress and Space," Clare- 

 mont Graduate School, 1965- 



5. ARTICLES AND JOURNALS 



For a running commentary on action in Congress and its committees, Congres- 

 sional Quarterly and the National Journal were very useful, as well as magazines 

 such as Science, Aeronautics and Space Technology, International Science and Tech- 

 nology, Daedalus, Chemical and Engineering News, Saturday Review, Nature, 

 Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists and Physics Today. Among newspapers most fre- 

 quently consulted were Washington Post, Wall Street Journal, Washington Evening 

 and Sunday Star, The New York Times, Chicago Tribune, Louisville Courier-Journal, 

 St. Louis Post-Dispatch and Los Angeles Times.
