Report of the Department of Defense-University Forum for Calendar Year 1984.

摘要

The DoD-University Forum and the discussions which led to its establishment as a formal advisory committee to the Department of Defense, have helped to bring a new awareness to the defense community of the vital role which the nation's university research and education programs play in maintaining the country's economic and military strength. This report of the first full year of operation of the DoD-University Forum begins with an overview of the consequences of our declining investment in research and education, and the Forum's recommendations for actions to be taken to restore the United States scientific and technological leadership position. Part II describes the initiative to bring this issue to national attention and the response from industry, academia and the technical and discipline societies. Parts III, IV and V, describe the accomplishments of the Forum Working Groups on Export control, Engineering and Science Education and Foreign Languages and Area Studies, respectively.
