Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Nomination of John H. Gibbons to Be Director of the Office of Science and Technology Policy: Hearing Before the Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation, United States Senate, One Hundred Third Congress, First Session, January 26, 1993 The committee met, pursuant to notice, at 10 a.m. in room SR-253, Russell Senate Office Building, Hon. Ernest F. Hollings (chairman of the committee) presiding. Staff members assigned to this hearing: Patrick H. Windham, and Rebecca A. Kojm, professional staff members; and Leslie G. Blosse, minority professional staff member. Opening Statement Of Senator Hollings The Chairman. The committee will come to order, please. We were waiting on our distinguished ranking member, who is coming right along. Senator Danforth will be here in a minute, but we have got some other distinguished Senators that I know are extremely busy. With our nominee, Dr. Gibbons, let me welcome you. As Dr. Gibbons and I both know, we worked in harness together on the Office of Technology Assessment for the past 13 years. Senator Kennedy, Senator Humphrey, and myself were the original authors on this side, with Emilio Daddario over on the House side. And after Emilio left, Dr. Gibbons took over as the Director there, and has done an outstanding job. It was in those early days that there were all kind of misgivings by the Members of Congress themselves that we were duplicating things, that we were not really adhering to the mission of technological impact of the various policies of the Congress. And Dr. Gibbons, as a noted physicist and scientist, gave us credibility and continuity and has done an outstanding job, and I think we are very very fortunate to have the President select him as Director of the Office of Science and Technology Policy there in the White House. [The prepared statement of Senator Hollings follows:] Prepared Statement of Senator Hollings This morning we welcome an old friend to his confirmation hearing. Since 1979, Jack Gibbons has served as Director of the Office of Technology Assessment, and over the years those of us who sit on the Technology Assessment Board have come to admire him a great deal. This morning he comes before the Commerce Committee as the President´s nominee to serve as Director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP).
