This Strategic Implementation Plan addresses the federal science and
technology contribution to the President's national security strategy, A
Strategy of Engagement and Enlargement. This is an integrated, interagency
plan. It builds on agency strategy documents where appropriate, and, in turn,
provides structure upon which other agency strategies can be built. This plan
was developed by the Committee for National Security* in response to the
national security science and technology priorities articulated in a joint
Office of Science and Technology Policy/Office of Management and Budget letter
("FY 1996 Research and Development Priorities") of May 6, 1994.
- * The purpose of the Committee for National Security is to advise and
assist the National Science and Technology Council to increase the overall
effectiveness and productivity of federal efforts in national security research
and development. The major goals of the Committee for National Security are to:
- Coordinate and integrate national security science and
technology plans and investments. This includes identifying gaps and overlaps
in program areas to more efficiently support the President's National Security
Strategy.
Foster increased operational collaboration among federal
agencies participating in national security science and technology development.
This includes harmonizing the evolving roles of U.S. agencies in the new
national security environment. It also provides an interagency mechanism to
help jointly pursue administration priorities.
Help identify national security science and technology
priorities for the National Science and Technology Council. This includes
identifying agency investments in national security science and technology
priority areas and establishing baselines and mechanisms to measure future
progress and performance of our national security science and technology
investment.
