Appendix: Recent Federal Commissions The Study Project did not survey commissions of the federal govern- ment. We feel, however, that such commissions frequently serve an important social knowledge production or application function. The background volumes of commissions are often an important source of original research or syntheses of existing studies. It is difficult, how- ever, to separate a commission's social knowledge production and ap- plication obligations from its total budget. In addition, some commis- sions do not conduct either knowledge production or application ac- tivities. For these reasons, commissions—while they are a useful source of social knowledge production and application—were excluded from the Study Project survey. The commissions listed below have been funded by the federal government during the last five years.1 Aviation Advisory Commission Commission on American Shipbuilding Commission on Executive, Legislative, and Judicial Salaries Commission on Federal Paperwork Commission on Government Procurement Commission on Highway Beautification Commission on Obscenity and Pornography Commission on Population Growth and the American Future Commission on Railroad Retirement 'The list was compiled from the annual Appendix to the Budget of the United States Government (U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, D.C.), and represents fiscal years 1973-1978. 481
