Dr. Jordan T. Baruch, Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Science and Technology, describes in an interview his views of the cooperative roles of industrial and government research and development. He emphasizes that the government sees industry participation in national programs as appropriate and necessary because the economy is dependent on technological development. The government also recognizes its opportunity to use incentive tools that will influence the private sector. Dr. Baruch suggests that policy changes to reduce investment uncertainties are a major item among the 30 policy areas needing revision. The policy review will cover some 30 agencies and will develop a set of options which industry will be asked to help evaluate. The interview includes a description of the Cooperative Technology Program, which will seek to institutionalize collaboration through infratechnology activities.
