My name is Don Phillips. I am the Executive Director of the 

 Government-University-Industry Research Roundtable, sponsored by 

 the National Academy of Sciences, the National Academy of 

 Engineering and the Institute of Medicine. Between 1985 and 1991 

 the Roundtable convened several meetings and published four 

 documents on academic research facility financing.' My testimony 

 is drawn largely from these discussions and materials. I also 

 have been asked to review data on facility needs and funding 

 contained in the results of the National Science Foundation (NSF) 

 surveys conducted in 1988, 1990, and 1992. 



Condition. Adequacy and Funding of Research Facilities

 the needs for more and better research space include:
