If the FS&T estimates for FiscalYear 1994 for DOD ($8 billion),DOE ($5 billion),and NASA 

 ($6 billion) are added to the research and development totals for the other agencies ($19 

 billion), the approximate total for FS&T is $37.6 billion. Because that number incorporates 

 some rough estimates, especially for DOE and NASA, the text of this report uses the range 

 estimate of $35 billion to $40 billion for FS&T.

 cine), Science, Technology, and the Federal Goiiemment: National Goals for a New Era (Washington, 

 DC: National Academy Press, 1993); Ralph E. Gomoo'.'The Known, the Unknown, and the Unknow-

' DOD is currently working with the Division of Science Resources Studies at the National Science Foun- 

 dation to report its R&D spending in rwo categories, "science and technology" and "systems develop>- 

 ment." That exercise -should result in more precise estimates of FS&T spending by DOD and how it is 

 distributed among performing institutions. 



'It is possible that some R&D activities in agencies other than DOD, DOE, and NASA would not qualify to 

 be FS&T, but the amount is probably negligible. In any case, the other agencies account for a very small 

 portion of federal expenditures on development — less than 6 percent ($2.4 billion) in FiscalYear 1994. 

 The figures were presented by Dr Anita K.Jones, director of Defense Research and Engineering, at the 

 Januan' 1995 meeting of the committee. They were rough "guesstimates" made on the basis of telephone 

 calls from Office of the Director of Defense Research and Engineering staff to contacts at DOE and NASA.
