summary Cominent 



The international aspects of the the conduct of the science and 

 engineering enterprise is complex. The federal government has no strong 

 center where the policies of international activities are broadly and 

 -affectively viewed. The National Science Foundation could be strengthened to 

 aid the State Department and the Office of Science and Technology Policy 

 perform their statutory policy and programmatic functions in coordinating 

 federal activities in this sphere. The NSF could aid in data gathering, 

 analysis and evaluation in such a role. 



Thank you very much for inviting me to testify and to answer these 

 questions by letter. 



Sincerely yours, 



H. Guyford Stever
