sident Reagan, Science, and Engineering

his first 4 months in office President Reagan has demonstratedderable political acumen. He has focused major public attention ont cutting, an issue he could win on. The recent victory in the House ofsentatives' vote on budget cuts makes it seem likely that the Whitee will be a dominant factor in budget decisions for years to come.victories are likely to follow. Twenty-five years of Democratic

resses have left some easy targets in such areas as federal paperwork,al regulations, and excessive taxation. Mr. Reagan's actions to dateite that he intends to move energetically toward goals he enunciatedg his campaign. It is quite possible that he will continue to perform in athat most presidents before him have avoided. Ordinarily, promisesduring a campaign are quickly forgotten, but Mr. Reagan may turn outone of the exceptional presidents who reaches many of his announcedBut sooner or later, the President is likely to run out of easy triumphs;xample, his proposed cure for the nation's economic problems isionable. In view of the record to date, it seems worthwhile to examineresident's positions with respect to science and engineering.the longer term, if this nation is to enjoy security and to compete

)mically, it must foster a strong scientific and engineering competence.isthe Reagan camp seems unaware. The 32,000-word 1980 Republicanrm made no mention of medical research. One tiny paragraph (abouttrds) was devoted to research on renewable energy. Another paragraphI 50 words) contained the following: "America's technological advan-as always depended upon its interaction with our civilian science andology sector." A search of the New York Times index for pre- orlection treatment of science or technology by Mr. Reagan drew aDuring the campaign, substantial efforts were made by publications

cit information concerning attitudes toward science and engineering.nents published in the 27 October 1980 issue of Chemical andleering News were brief and not particularly responsive. The materialitted by the Reagan camp for publication in the October issue of theeering journal Spectrum was an insult to the profession. Someions were unanswered. Responses were uninformative.r search for documentary information included the Republican Nation-mmittee and the White House Press Information Office. Neither hading positive to contribute. A call to Representative Don Fuqua (D-chairman of the House Committee on Science and Technology,ded no insight about Reagan. A call to the office of Senator Harrisonitt (R-N.M.) also yielded no further information about Reagan.ver, Schmitt, the former astronaut who holds a Ph.D. degree ingy and is chairman of the Science, Technology, and Space Subcom-of the Commerce, Science, and Transportation Committee, sent us a

of a letter he had written to Budget Director David Stockman in whichunchly defended scientific research. Other congressmen who havesupportive are James G. Martin (R-N.C.), who holds a Ph.D. degree inistry, and Don Ritter (R-Pa.), who has a Ph.D. in metallurgy.ers in influential positions whose opinions have not yet been openlyested are industrial scientists and engineers. Today some of thesee are found among top management in many of the most successfulanies. They are aware of the nation's needs for higher education,ially that in the sciences. A very distinguished group of them hasilated a constructive program for meeting the nation's scientific andological needs. The document was submitted to the White House earlyrear. The authors have received assurances that their report wastbly received, but as yet it has not been publicly released.Reagan camp has so far chosen to ignore the scientific and engineer-ommunity. For the short run, it may be able to afford to do so. But forng term, it can ill afford to lose support among those who advance thisI's technological strength.-PHILIP H. ABELSON
