Well, I don't know about you gentlemen, but that angers me. But 

 I would rather be honest and take the heat than sacrifice the 

 values of the country. 



I think I wandered a little bit afield. 



Mr. Reid. If you in fact do, professor, come across some work that 

 has been done on that subject, or you decide to get interested in it, 

 I would appreciate hearing from you about that. 



Dr. McDouGALL. Thank you for bringing me back to your ques- 

 tion. 



The answer to your question is — I expect you already know the 

 answer — that basic research in the military has been extraordinari- 

 ly important in every country, including our own. It is my under- 

 standing that computer technology came out of the Department of 

 the Army during World War II. Obviously, space technology came 

 out of the military departments. Nuclear technology came out of 

 the Department of the Army, and the list could go on and on. 



Mr. Reid. Anyway, I think you have made the point, and I appre- 

 ciate it very much. Your testimony has been very enlightening. 



Thank you, Mr. Chairman. 



Mr. FuQUA. Thank you, Mr. Reid. 



I might point out that we have commissioned the Congressional 

 Research Service to do a study for us in conjunction with our task 

 force work on Defense Department-supported basic research and 

 the impact of the Mansfield amendment during the time of its ex- 

 istence. 



Mr. Lewis. 



Mr. Lewis. No questions. 



Mr. FuQUA. Thank you very much, Dr. McDougall, for being here 

 this morning. It has been very interesting and enlightening, and I 

 think you have given us a very good historical perspective. 



Dr. McDougall. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
