MEMORANDUM FOR EAMON KELLY
FROM: NEAL LANE
SUBJECT: PCAST Review of the Report on Environmental Science and Engineering
for the 21st Century
At my request, the President's Committee of Advisors on Science and
Technology has reviewed the Interim Report of the National Science Board
on Environmental Science and Engineering for the 21st Century. Peter
Raven and John Holdren led this very thoughtful effort, which includes
advice to me on how the National Science and Technology Council should
address the report's recommendation on reevaluating the government's environmental
R&D portfolio. I hope you find the PCAST comments useful as you
prepare the final report.
