This report of the Forum on Science in the National Interest held 31 January - 1 February 1994, is the first major post-Cold War review of national science policy by the White House, and the first formal Presidential Statement on science policy since 1979. The report represents the Administration's vision and roadmap for putting science to work on behalf of a broadened set of national goals for world leadership in science, mathematics, and engineering: 1) maintaining leadership across the frontiers of scientific knowledge; 2) enhancing connections between fundamental research and national goals; 3) stimulating government, industry, and academic partnerships that promote investment in fundamental science and engineering and effective use of physical, human, and financial resources; 4) producing the finest scientists and engineers for the twenty-first century; and 5) raising the scientific and technology literacy of all Americans.
