Abstract: National concern for science has increased as the recent developments in the relationship of government to sci ence testify. The government's extensive role in scientific activities is witnessed by the numerous agencies and department divisions which have been created or extended in their scope. The growth of government-science operations has brought with it the present experimentation for a better administrative struc ture. One of the newer attempts to promote co-ordination in governmental science was the Presidential appointment of a Special Assistant to act as a liaison between government and science in the executive branch. He is particularly well suited for this role of co-ordinator as chairman of both the Science Ad visory Committee and the Federal Council for Science and Technology. The augmentation of the government's role in science and the accompanying proliferation of scientific agen cies has created a need for scientists who are both versed in technical subjects as well as in the operations of the govern ment. These specialists may be secured if the academic in stitutions realize the nation's growing need.—Ed.
