The Reagan administration's budget cuts and policies have forced the US from its lead in research and development of solar and conservation technologies. Whether the free-market approach puts US manufacturers at a competitive disadvantage in international markets where foreign competitors receive government support and cooperation was the subject of a three-day hearing. Witnesses were asked to help assess the effects of US policies relative to the status of competitors and to make recommendations on the appropriate level of government participation in maintaining US leadership. The witnesses represented government technology and trade agencies, renewable industries, and economic and foreign affairs advisors. (DCK)
