PARTNERSHIP/ AND AMONG OTHER DEFICIENCIES/ IT FAILS TO TAKE 

 ADVANTAGE OF THE KIND OF CREATIVITY AND INNOVATION THAT'S 

 AVAILABLE FROM GETTING OTHERS INVOLVED IN THE CREATIVE 

 STAGES. 



Mr. CHAIRMAN/ I APPRECIATE HAVING THE OPPORTUNITY TO 

 SHARE OSTP'S PERSPECTIVES ON INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION IN 

 SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY WITH THE TASK FORCE. WE FACE 

 CHALLENGES OF A SUBSTANTIALLY DIFFERENT NATURE THAN WE HAVE 

 IN THE PAST/ AND WE CLEARLY HAVE OUR WORK CUT OUT FOR US IN 

 DEVISING BETTER WAYS TO RESPOND TO THEM. I HOPE I'VE BEEN 

 ABLE TO GIVE AN INDICATION OF WHY WE THINK THIS WHOLE AREA 

 DESERVES A NEW LEVEL OF ATTENTION. I WOULD BE PLEASED TO 

 ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT THE COMMITTEE MAY HAVE.
