Abstract

I offer an amendment to H.R. 19830, the Independent Offices Appropriations Bill for Fiscal year 1971.The purpose of the amendment is to increase the appropriation for the National Science Foundation by $10 million. The additional $10,000,000 will provide NSF with funds to undertake urgently needed planning, research, and development in methods of converting scientific manpower and resources from defense and space activities to civilian-oriented projects. It is imperative that NSF begin such a program immediately if it is to have a meaningful impact on the spiraling unemployment among the nation's scientists, engineers and technicians. [This statement was issued Dec. 7, 1970.]
