MEMORANDUM TO THE HEADS OF DEPARTMENTS AND AGENCIES
SUBJECT: Report of the White House Science Council
Federal Laboratory Review Panel
The White House Science Council has recently completed a
review of Federal labora.tor ies. The report of that review
notes that our Federal laboratories have great potential but
that they could play a far greater role in meeting national
needs if certain management and operating improvements can be
made.
As we enter an era.of increasing dependence on our science and
technology, it is essential that we make better use of our
Federal laboratories, I am directing the Office of Science
and Technology Policy (OSTP) and the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) to lead an interagency effort to respond to the
central thrust of the report.
A report on actions taken by the agencies in this effort
should be presented to me by OSTP and OMB no later than
July 1, 1984. Agency heads with responsibilities for Federal
laboratories are directed to work with these offices in
addressing the Science Council's recommendations.
