Clinton requests more this year for NSF, advanced technologies
Article Abstract:
President Bill Clinton's Feb 1993 economic plan requested Congress to allot $207 million to the National Science Foundation (NSF) and $103 million to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). NSF will use half the supplemental appropriation for research on advanced materials and processing, high performance computing, biotechnology, advanced manufacturing and global change. The remainder will go to core research programs. The increase for NIST will double the Department of Commerce's Advanced Technology Program budget which is devoted to advanced industrial research.

NSF weighs value of supercomputer centres
Article Abstract:
The National Science Foundation (NSF) has deputed a 14-member advisory panel to investigate whether NSF should stop financing four supercomputer centers. Led by Harvard University's Lewis Branscomb, the panel will evaluate the feasibility of shifting to less expensive desktop workstations. NSF gave the Cornell Theory Center, the National Center for Supercomputing Applications, the Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center and the San Diego Supercomputer Center $56 million in 1992.

Clinton's technology policy under dual siege in Congress
Article Abstract:
Pres Clinton's proposed funding for the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has been cut by Congress, threatening his hopes of quadrupling that agency's budget by 1997. NIST and its Advanced Technology Program are key elements of Clinton's technology policy. The $220 million removed from FY 94's budget will probably be replaced, but the floor battle illustrates the administration's difficulties in paying for its policies.
