Description
In 1993 President Clinton and Vice President Gore issued a policy document entitled Technology for America’s Economic Growth, A New Direction to Build Economic Strength. In it the President establishes economic competitiveness as a new and key measure of performance for government R&D efforts, including NASA programs, and he identifies four precepts of the new technology policy profoundly effecting how NASA was to execute its mission. Investing in technology is investing in America’s future. American technology must move in a new direction to build economic strength and spur economic growth. NASA must modify the ways it does business to encourage cooperative work with industry in areas of mutual interest. At the level of technology application, a fundamental mechanism for carrying out this new approach is the cost-share R&D partnership between government and industry.
