THE WHITE HOUSe:

MEMORA/;DUM
To:

From:
Tom Kalil
Re:
Technology issues for 1996
Date:
Jununry 17,1996
TA~
J. Telecommunications legislation:
'Ba.ckground: The US. telecommunications industry is currently governed by the
Communications Act of 1934, and an antitrust decree which broke up AT&T (the Modified
FinaJ Judgement), Currently. long-distance companies, loca1 telephone companies, and
cable companies arc prohibited from entering each others' markets, Although we have_
competition in the: long dis!.ance markets (e,g, AT&T, Sprint, Mel). there is little or no
competition in the market for local telephone or cable services, The Administration
believes that competition will lead to lower prices, more customer choice, and faster
deployment of an advanced telecommunications jnfrastrncture. The telccorn bill also
addresses a host of other issues, including universal service, connectivity for schools,
"indecent" material on the Internet} deregulation of cable rates, rules regarding media
ownership, and Advanced Television (ATV),
Current stalus: As a result of negotiations between the White House and the Hili, the
HQuse and s.enate Commerce Committees were able to arrive at a bill thJt the President and
Vice President could support. The Republicans made concessions in media concentration,
rules governing RBOC entry into long distance, and cable rates,
Senator Dole has prevented the conference report from being reported out He
alleges that aHowing the broadcas~ers to have the "digital" spectrum without having to pay
for it is "corporate welfare," fThe current Administration position is that the broadcasters
should get the digital spectrum for free, but they should have to turn over their analog
spectrum in the future, which would be auctioned.] Some House Republicans are
concerned that the House Commerce Committee made too many concessions, and that the
bill is not "deregulatory" enough. Republic~ constituents such as Rupert Murdoch are
concerned that the current bill will not allow him to buy aU of the TV stations he wants to
own.
1
�•
Further NEe action: Passage of the bill (warts and all) is important to promote
competition and to put an end to the regulatory uncertainty. which is delaying private sector
investment. The NEC should push for final passage, and stay involved in any discussion of
spectrum policy.
H.
Technology Budget issues
Background: As candidate, Governor Clinton's "PuUing People First" agenda emphasized
the need to increase public and private investment in areas such as education and training,
infrastructure. plant and equipment. and R&D to increase economic growth, productivity,
and job creation. In the R&D area, the President has called for a permanent R&D tax
credit. strong support for basic research, and an increase in civilian and "dual-usc"
technology programs. Republican budget proposals would cut R&D by more than 30
percent over the next sc'ven years, and eliminate high profile technology in,itiatives such as
the Advanced Technology Program.
Current status:
L R&E tal, credit
I Qsstlme tbat budget negotiators wm be able to agree on some period of extension,
There were :,omc small changes to tbe credit (such as an elective AlternatIve Incremental
Credit) that have been characterized as "special interest" by Treasury staff. The coalitions
that arc supporting the credit argue that many firms (25·40 percent of R&D performers)
will benefit from these changes, tbat they are relatively inexpensive ($250 million), and that
the Administration should not oppose tbem.
There are many companies that arc making considerable investments in R&D hut arc
no longer benefiting from the credit. Hewlett~Packard, for example. has a Ivwer R&D:salcs
ratio bec::mse of the explosive growlb of its laser printer business, Semiconductor tim-iS hit
by dumping in the mid-1980's had disproportionately high R&D:sales ratins during the base
period because they maintained their R&D while revenues declined. Defense and aerospace
comp;mies hit by defense cutbacks have lower R&D:sales ratios.
2. Technology programs:
OMB is proposing $7.98 billion in "add-baeks." Below arc the important science
and technology add~backs:
2
�$40 million for NSF basic research.
$62 million for the EPA's environmental technology initiative.
$23 million for the Education Department's technology learning challenge.
Further NEe action:
a.
The NEe should fight to preserve funding for an extension of the R&E credit. The
Admiinistration should support, or at least, not oppose, the Alternative Incremental
Credit.
b.
The NEC should ensure that funding is restored to key R&D programs, per the
current OMB "addback list."
c.
In the, event that the Republicans refuse to fund some of our technology programs,
we should explore increased funding for university-based engineering research.
Currc:ntly, DOD funds 50-75 percent of the research in electrical engineering,
mechanical engineering, and computer science. DOD's support for university-based
engineering research is decreasing and may decline even more.
NSF would be the logical agency to run such an initiative, but steps would have to
be taken to:
•
Encourage industry involvement in the establishment of R&D priorities, and industry
matching funds where' appropriate.
•
Increase the average size of the award. NSF has a tendency to spread the money
around and award small grants.
This kind of initiative would have strong support in industry. They are very worried
about declining investment in our nation's top engineering schools. They like university
based R&D because they hire the graduates, particularly if they have been doing industry
relevant R&D.
d.
The NEC should call for a high-level meeting between Congressional leadership
(e.g. Gingrich, Domenici) and Administration officials (Tyson, Gibbons) to discuss
the overall S&T budget, and to see if ways can be found to narrow the current
ideological divide between the Congressional Republicans and the Administration.
3
�1[1. National Information Infrastructnre initiative:
Ba('kground: The power of information and communications technologies is exploding,
The number of transistors on an integrated circuits is doubling every eighteen months.
leading to improvements in price:performance of 25 to 30 percent per year. 111c power of a
$20 million supercomputer in 1976 can be found today in u $300 vidco·game. Laser
technology will enable us to carry all of the phone. traffic on Mother's Day on a single
strand of fiber. Satellites and wireless technology will allow us to communicate "anytime,
anywhere", while the Internet is growing at 10 percent per month,
These technologies
·will have a pervasive impact on the way we work, learn, live and communicate with each
other.
The Administration's policy agenda is set forth in the "NIl Agcnda for ActionH ,
which was released in September 1993: This document called for action in the following
areas:
Reform of"our nation's tel«ommunications laws to promote competition and
advance universal service. [Sec discussion of telccom legislation above.]
Promotion of applications such as educatioor electronic commerce, health care,
manufacturing. geographical infonnation systems, environmental monitoring,
delivery of government services. digital libraries. demand side management;
tcte(;ommuting, improving the quality of life for Americans with disabilit.ies. etc.
EstllbJishing information policy in areas such as intellectual property. privacy)
security ,and liability of carriers.
'nvesting in R&D, primarily through the High Pertormance C.omputing and
Communications initiative.
Promotion of the Global Information Infrastrudure through pilot projects and
encouraging other countries to adopt more liberal telecommunications policies.
Current status: Progress i3 being made or. most of the issues discussed above. The main
body for the coordination of policy is the Infonu.tion Infrastructure Task Force (IITF),
chaired by Secretary Brown. Our N( I Advisory Council wants to meet with the President
on January 30th to release their final report. We agree with most of the recommendations,
and plan to rclea<>e a document discussing the progress we have made to date.
The NllAC will endorse the Administration's goal of connecting ali schools to the
"information superhighway" by the year 2000. A separate group has been fonned to
coordinate a Presidential educational technology initia1ivc.

Administration support for R&E lax credit
Date:
July 24, 1996
The n&E credit has lapsed for over a year, and the high-tech community remains
concerned that (1) it will not be part of the final tax bill; and (2) that there will not be any
other vehicle later this year. The credit is one of the biggest differences between the House
and Senate hills, and the pressure to eliminate the credit will grow if Archer pushes to
eliminate the airline ticket tax.
There arc two steps that the Administration could take to help ensure that the credit
remains part of the tax bill:
1.
Contact key i-Iollse Ways and Means and Senate Finance Democrats.
My short-list would be Moynihan. Baucus, Matsui and Rangel. It
would he great if you and Secretary Rubin could make these calls .

"In loday's higlHcch ecollfJllly, it is essential thal we provide the.
private sector with incentives to invest in long-lcllll R&D. I call upon

Although the Internet is incredibly useful, it still has a number of limitations, The
current "tcrsion of the Internet Protocol is nmning out of nddrl;!HS ,sl)ucc. The Internet
has difficulties supporting "real-time" services such as vic.k:o-cunfcn:ncing; multi
media collaboration, and video and audio "streaming." The research community has
some excellent ideas for addressing these and othcr limitatioll:", but they nc(''ii to he

MEMORANDUM FOR GENE SPERLING
FROM:
TOM KALIL
RE:
SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY PRIORITIES FOR FY99
AND BEYOND
DATE:
AUGUST25, 1997
This memo outlines some principles for the Administration's S&T policies for
FY99 and beyond and describes some possible initiatives.
L Principles
1. The Administration should favor extramural (as opposed to in-house) R&D that is
awarded on a peer-reviewed basis.
2, Where possible, the Administration should favor university-based R&D, given thut
universities are likely to (l) disseminate research results more widely; {2) conduct
longer-term R&D that is beyond the time horizon of the privHtc sector; and (3) train
the next generation of scientists and engineers needed by industry. Tbis does not
mean that the Administration should not pursue partnerships with industry (e.g,
Advanced Technology Program, Partnerships for a New Generation of Vehicle)
where appropriate"
3. The Administration needs to support a balanced portfolio of R&D that includes bOlh
longer~tcrm. curiosity~driven research and near-term, more directed research.
Although R&D should be linked to· national needs, there is a danger to moving too far
in this direction, For example, it may be that in the biomedical area, longer-term
research in molecular genetics may do mOre to. cure diseases than a "disease of the
month" approach,
4. Research agencies are currently conditioned to "think small" because they believe that
thefi~ is no money for new initiatives, and that they will have to fund any new
initiatives from reductions in their basc programs. Given that devdoping a thoughtful
pror:osal cun tuke months, the Administration should tet agencies know that there is
<"nc\v money" for initiatives that support While House priorities, even if the "new
money" is the result of low OMB budget guidance to agencies. In concrete terms,
this means thai any increase in R&D should "ramp up" in FY2000 and beyond to
allow agencies to spend calendar year 1998 to develop detailed research agendas.
5. The Administration'$ S&T policy needs to focus on not ouly R&D fuuding, but (1)
the lise and deployment of technology to achieve national goals (c,g.lifc~long
learning> more eflicicnt govemmcnt); (2) the creation of an environment for
innovation and C:S, htgh-tech competitiveness; and (3) the broader ethical and social
�.'
;..
issues raised by new technologies (e.g. privacy, ge!\Ctic testing, information "haves"
vs. ··have~nots).
G, It may be difilcult !o maintain constant "rea'" funding for R&D oc{wc:en !lOW and
2002. given that the Administration's FY98 reque" for overall R&D is $72.8 billion.
However, it may be possible to (I) maintain rcal funding for some subset of the R&D
budget; or (2) increase some t:lrgeted portions of the R&D budget. For example, the
civilian R&D budget is only $343 billion. and federal support for university~based
R&D is only $12.9 billion.
7. The Administration should look for possible "off-sets" for R&D spending (e.g.
tobacco seulemelH for biomedical research, "cap and trade" for climate change
technologies.)
l1. S&T priorities
Below is a first cut at how the Administration might invest an additional Sl.8
billion in FY99, My #1 priority is the university-based R&D"
1.
Universlty~bascd
R&D
$370 million
(10% incre\lse in NSF research, 10% increase in DoD basic research)
2. Biomedical research
$500 million
3. Climate change'"rechnologies
$500 million
4. Educational technologies
$250 million
5. Information Society
$200 million
Total
$1.82 billion
I. University-based R&D - $370 million
For $370 million, we could increase the FY99 NSF research budget by 10 percent
($260 million - assuming that Congress appropriates $2.6 billion in fY98) and the DoD
basic research budget (6.1) by IO percent ($110 million).
The reason thm I would focus on these budgets is tbat they fund "everything else"
that is not defense. health. space. and energy. For example, the DoD's support for
university research l\mds more than 50 percent of the research in key disciplines :;uch as
computer science, mechanical engineering, and electrical engineering. NSF supports: a
wide range of disciplines, such as biology, geology, engineering, computer science.
social science, chemistry, materials science, etc.
2
�••
2. Biomedical rcsci1rch - $500 million
[ assume that the Administration will want to increase NIH biomedical rcst.:'ufch
by some amount in FY99. The Administration's FY98 request for NlH R&D was $125
billion n $300 million increase from FY97, The House and Senate have funded the
FY98 NIH R&D budget at $12.9 billion and $13.1 billion I'csp~c1ivdy. I assume that
$500 million for the Adtninisiration increase is a minimum; given that tbe Senate i.s
M
proposing a $900 million Increase from FY97 to FY98.
The question we need 10 answer is the appropriate mix between (1) an across-the
board increase for NIH; (2) discUSCMSPl'cific initiatives in cancer, AIDS, diabetes, ctc.;
and (3) some tcchnologYMspecific mitiative {e.g. molecular genetics for diagnosis and
cures).
3. Climate change teclmologies ~ $500 million
Therc are a whole set of technologies that could reduce the emission of
greenhouse gases, stich as:
•
•
•
•
•
Fuel cells
Biomass
Photo voltaic armys
Lightweight compo!'litc materials for automobile bodies and other applications
Integmted buildmg system design
We need to find out how rapidly the agencies can ramp up - it may be that $500
million is too much in FY99. The Administration could easily spend $500 million on a
broader "sustainable development" initiative that would include not only greenhouse gas
reduction - but environmental technologies such as:
•
•
•
environmentally-conscious manufacturing
remediation and rcstomtion
integrared environmental monitoring
•
polhltion control
4. Educational Technology Initiative ~ $250 million
" New initiatives in FY99 should foclls on:
•
Technology training for new teachers - $100 mi(lion
3
�A competitive grant program would allow the Administration to fund technology
training initiatives in allcast onc teacher college per state - possibly 2-4 per state
depending on the size of the gmnL
• Research on educational technology ~ $100 million
Additional research is needed on both (I) evaluation of educational technology
(what urc the circumstances in which technology improves student pcrforrnuncc a:id
supports educational reform efforts); and (2) improvements in state~of-the-art
educational soft'Ware. Example topics might be intelligent tutoring systems that adapt to
individual student learning styles~ simulation environments that allow students to "Jearn
by doing"; and authoring tools that reduce the cost of developing software and allow
teachcrs (or other non-pmgrmnmers) to develop educational soH wan.!.
or
• Content - $50 million
For $50 m!llion. the Administration could fund a number of high-profile,
accessible content initiatives. such a.'t:
[nternet~
• Digitizing millions of objects in the Smithsonian Museum; and
• Creating subject-specific digitaillbrories for K-12 science, math, and other areas.
5. Information Society
~
$200 million
For $200 million, the Administration could ftmd a number of initiativcs that seek
to (1) promote applications of new information and communications technologies; and
(2) explore the ethical and social dimensions ofinfbnnatio!l technology. Making the
Information Revolution empower all Americans could be an important legacy for the
President Possible components of the initiative include:
• Improving the quality of life and economic independence of people with
disabilities
Progress in key technologies (e.g, speech recognition, text-ta-speech. machine
vision. user interfaces that use gestures or American Sign Language, text-to-Braille.)
could allow people with disabilities to interact with computers, kiosks, intemctive TVs,
and communications devices, This would enable them to be full participants in the
workforce and increasing their independence and quality of life, These technologies
would improve "ease~o[:'use" for all users - not just people with disabilities.
• Learning on demand
Although the Administration has an aggressive program for K-12 educational
technology, we have nothing on the application of technology for life-long learning. The
4
�,.
Administration's priority in this area should be encouraging the developmcnt of
instructional software in areas with high social payoffs, such as basic skills.
•
Social science research
l1)c govemment should fund additional social science research and data collection
in ureas such as privacy, impact ofinlormmlon technology on productivity, etc.
•
Guvernment online
There aTe huge opportunities to make the government more efficient and user~
friendly by allowing citizens to access information and conduct transactions with the
. government online. Many worthwhile projects arc underwfunded because they are
'inherently interagency in nature (e,g. an online one~stop shop for all information and
services useful to specific -communities - such as small business.) Some oflhese are
identified in the National Perfor~nance Reviewls "Access America" report,

�Draft October 28, 1998
Tom Kalil:
Comments welcome, send to kaliU@aLeop.govorfax456-2223
I. Summary:
One possible cross-cutting theme for the Administration's FY2000 budget and its 1999 agenda is
"Making the Infonnation Revolution Work
.. This is~ after all, the first budget of
the new mli cnmum, e goa would be to identify specific ways in which information
technology can contribute to OUr most important national goals, Note that in ail of these areas,
there is already some level of activity. The challenge would be to <aJ identify new ideas; (b)
raise the level ofattention that IT issues are receiving within departments and agencies~ and (c)
identifY specific projects that could achieve real results with additional resources.
