technology. Continued research in the area of electronic materials is needed to remain 

 competitive in an increasingly intense environment. 



International cooperation does not mean a one-vi/ay street. For example Japan has 

 a great lead in all aspects of gallium arsenide (GaAs) v^hich is recognized as the material 

 which has the potential to substantially expand electronic applications. France and England 

 follow, with the U. S. behind them. It is through vigorous international cooperation that 

 we can enhance our own standing. 



In conclusion, ours is a most technologically advanced society, but by no means in 

 all areas. Nature tends to be democratic. Brain power is uniformly distributed among 

 all peoples. Through scientific and technical cooperation we can improve the quality of life 

 in the United States.
