SRI is a problem-solving organization that performs basic and
applied research under contract for clients in business, industry and
government in the United States and 65 other countries.
Since SRI was founded in 1946, the problems confronting our clients
have so increased in complexity that few of them can be solved within the
confines of a single discipline. SRI is uniquely qualified to deal with such
intricate problems. Professionals, representing more than 100 disciplines,
comprise nearly two-thirds of our 2800 staff members, working out of our
headquarters in Menlo Park, California and in other laboratories and offices
in the United States and abroad.
SRI performs research for the public sector in such areas as urban
management; health, education and welfare; environmental management and
national security. In addition to our broad-ranging activities for the U. S.
government, the Institute also serves city, state and county governments.

For private commercial and industrial clients, SRI engages in research
in new products, processes and equipment; new investment opportunities;
corporate strategy and management consulting; and regulatory policies.
Formerly affiliated with Stanford University, SRI became independent in
1970. As a nonprofit corporation, the Institute has no endowment and no
shareholders. Revenue in excess of operating costs is used to purchase
advanced scientific equipment and to enhance the Institute's ability to provide
research in the public interest.
SRI's gross revenue in 1973 was more than $77 million--highest in the
organization's history.
The Institute's headquarters are on a 70-acre site in Menlo Park, Calif.,
a suburban community about 35 miles south of San Francisco and a few miles
from the Stanford University campus. It has other offices and laboratories in
the United States, Europe and the Far East.
