The sample design for estimating industry expenditures was revised for 1991 and later years. The effect of the changes in sample design was to increase the estimate of industry R&D and thus reduce the federal share of the national R&D total by several percentage points compared with earlier surveys. Industry has contributed about 59 percent of national R&D investment in recent years. Moreover, industrial support for R&D has increased over the past 2 decades, in most years more rapidly than federal funding. A recent Battelle Memorial Institute survey also estimated that the federal government is funding 36 percent of the national investment in research and development in 1995.

The changes in sample design in the survey of R&D expenditures by industry for 1991 and after have the effect of reducing the federal share of R&D funding of industry R&D compared with earlier surveys by NSF. 4. All constant-dollar R&D and FS&T data are in Fiscal Year 1987 dollars, calculated from current-dollar data using the GDP deflators following standard NSF and OMB practice. Fiscal Year 1995 estimates have not been adjusted to account for recisions totaling nearly $2 billion in R&D budget authority enacted by Public Laws 104-6 (April 1995) and 104-19 (July 1995) (see American Association for the Advancement of Science, Interim Report on Congressional Appropriations for R&D in FY 1996 ( Washington, D.C.: AAAS, 1995), Table A, for more details on recisions by agency and program). 5.

The United States faces a new challenge—maintaining the vitality of its system for supporting science and technology despite fiscal stringency during the next several years. To address this change, the Senate Appropriations Committee requested a report from the National Academies of Sciences and Engineering and the Institute of Medicine to address "the criteria that should be used in judging the appropriate allocation of funds to research and development activities; to examine the appropriate balance among different types of institutions that conduct such research; and to look at the means of assuring continued objectivity in the allocation process."

In this eagerly-awaited book, a committee of experts selected by the National Academies and the Institute responds with 13 recommendations that propose a new budgeting process and formulates a series of questions to address during that process. The committee also makes corollary recommendations about merit review, government oversight, linking research and development to government missions, the synergy between research and education, and other topics. The recommendations are aimed at rooting out obsolete and inadequate activities to free resources from good programs for even better ones, in the belief that "science and technology will be at least as important in the future as they have been in the past in dealing with problems that confront the nation."

The authoring committee of this book was chaired by Frank Press, former President of the National Academy of Sciences (1981-1993) and Presidential Science and Technology Advisor (1977-1981).
