Many first-rate scientists in the US. did not receive enough financial support to allow them to develop their fullest effectiveness in research work, NSF Director Dr. Leland J. Haworth said in NSF’s annual report. “This lack of support is a detriment to the national scientific capacity,” he added. Discussing progress in the biological and medical sciences, the report said that science was in the midst of a fourth biological revolution. It termed this revolution comparable in importance and ultimate impact on mankind to the three earlier revolutions in mankind’s knowledge that led to development of agriculture, to understanding of infectious disease and its control, and to the understanding of biological evolution.
