Rep. Emilio Q. Daddario (D.-Conn.) spoke in the House of recent report by Subcommittee on Science, Research, and Development which was a preliminary investigation of how existing Congressional resources of scientific and technical information can be made more effective. ". . . The critical need for Congress to study and evaluate its uses of scientific information cannot be minimized. It is imperative that we be prepared to assemble the necessary information for Congress to make complex policy decisions in order to meet national goals. As I have indicated we are more concerned with the policy of the decision than its technical aspects. In making these decisions the translation and con-version of scientific and technical information into policy terms is essential. . . ." (CR, 8/13/64, 18753)
