White House Office of Science and Technology (OST) had failed to move effectively in the direction of long-range planning and had been seriously hampered by a "thinly spread" staff, concluded report prepared by Library of Congress Legislative Reference Service and released by House Committee on Government Operations' Subcommittee on Military Operations. Presented as a background document for future congressional action or legislation, report reached no direct findings or conclusions but noted that during four years OST had been in existence its "most conspicuous operating characteristic has been the wide span of issues in which it has become involved. "But with the office numbering only seventeen to twenty professionals its staff must be thinly spread." Although OST had not moved spontaneously in the direction of long-range planning, report said questions posed by various groups of Congress "at least imply a need for this policy planning, systems analysis capability, especially to deal with issues of transportation, waste management, water resources, and energy development."
