Message to the Congress Transmitting Annual Report of the National Science Foundation.

March 18, 1974

To the Congress of the United States:

I am pleased to submit to the Congress the Twenty-Third Annual Report of the National Science Foundation.

The Nation today is faced with scientific and technological challenges and opportunities of unprecedented importance. As this report shows, the National Science Foundation is funding projects across a broad spectrum of scientific inquiry, from basic research to highly focused and sophisticated engineering techniques. Concurrently, National Science Foundation programs are encouraging the more rapid transfer of technological knowledge from the laboratories to the marketplace and are increasing the scientific and technical manpower base which the United States must have in the future.

I believe the annual report of the National Science Foundation merits the close attention of the Congress. It is a record of a very productive year.

RICHARD NIXON

The White House,

March 18, 1974.

Note: The report is entitled "National Science Foundation Twenty-Third Annual Report for Fiscal Year 1973" (Government Printing Office, 122 pp.).
