Kennedy (chairman of the special subcommittee) presiding. Present: Senators Kennedy and Prouty. Committee staff members present: Dr. Philip Caper, professional staff member; and Roy H. Millenson, minority professional staff member. Senator KENNEDY. The subcommittee will come to order. Senator Prouty has always been very interested in the National Science Foundation. He is a prime sponsor of the administration proposal, and he has followed all of the matters of the Foundation. Science is extremely close to him, so I will yield to him. Senator PROUTY. Mr. Chairman, I welcome these hearings and the witnesses before the subcommittee. In reviewing the material attendant with these hearings, I was again reminded of the enormity of the challenge we face in insuring that technology is the servant, not the master of man. I am pleased by the new directions the National Science Foundation has taken in recent years, and I wish to take the opportunity to commend Doctor McElroy for his stewardship of the Foundation. I see in the fiscal year 1972 budget request for the Foundation a new emphasis on human values and needs. I welcome this new emphasis. As you know, I have sponsored both the bills before this subcommittee. As the ranking Republican on the subcommittee, I introduced S. 1168 on behalf of the administration. As one long concerned with adequate support for our schools, I joined as a cosponsor of your bill, Mr. Chairman, S. 1968, which restores, through earmarking, vital NSF education programs. Senator KENNEDY. At this point in the record I order printed the text of S. 1968 and S.1168. 92D CONGRESS 1ST SESSION S. 1968 IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES MAY 26, 1971 Mr. KENNEDY (for himself.
