PRESIDENT CLINTON APPOINTS SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY ADVISORS

August 3, 1994 -- Washington -- President Clinton today announced the
membership of a private-sector committee to advise him on major science
and technology issues and to help guide federal investments in science and
technology toward national goals. The 18-member President's Committee of
Advisors on Science and Technology (PCAST) is composed of top-level
representatives from industry, education and research institutions, and
nongovernmental organizations.

"I am very pleased to name these eminent scientists, engineers, business
leaders, and educators as some of my key advisors," the President said.
"Drawn from a cross-section of America, they will help ensure that our
science and technology policies reflect our nation's needs: health;
prosperity based on long-term economic growth and technological
investment; national security; environmental responsibility; and improved
quality of life.

The appointment of private-sector advisors to the President highlights the
Administration's goal of fostering public/private partnerships to achieve
national science and education goals. "To achieve our goals, we must
strengthen partnerships with industry, with state and local governments,
and with schools, colleges and universities across the country," said
President Clinton. "My goal for this committee is to help encourage those
partnerships."

President Clinton established the PCAST by Executive Order in November
1993. Its members have established track records of significant
achievement and represent the diverse perspectives and expertise in the
U.S. science and technology establishment. The committee is co-Chaired by
John H. Gibbons, Assistant to the President for Science and Technology,
and by John A. Young, former President and CEO of the Hewlett-Packard
Company.

The PCAST will advise the President both directly and through the Assistant
to the President for Science and Technology. The committee will also serve
as a formal channel for private sector advice to the National Science and
Technology Council. The NSTC is a cabinet-level council, chaired by the
President, that coordinates science and technology policies and programs
across federal agencies. The PCAST will ensure the private sector
perspective is included in that policy-making process.
