Statement on Department of Defense Laboratories, by Deputy Director of Defense Research and Engineering (Research and Advanced Technology) before the Subcommittee on Research and Development, of the Committee on Armed Services House of Representatives, the 95th Congress, First Session.

摘要

The speaker summarizes the OSD position as recognizing the need for a strong DoD laboratory system. Nevertheless, the world has changed markedly in the past ten or twenty years and these changes translate into a moderately diminished need for laboratory support; less use of the laboratories for support to system development and the need for a larger Technology Base contract program. Failure to adjust the laboratories' manpower in recognition of these trends merely postpones the reckoning, increases the problem, and is not responsible management.
