FEDERAL LABORATORIES--A NATIONAL RESOURCE

Many of the social and economic problems that face our country could be solved by technology and expertise that exists or is being developed in federal laboratories. An effort is under way to make federal government scientific and technological resources available to other federal agencies, to state and local governments, to colleges and universities, and to private industry. An informal Federal Laboratory Consortium for Technology Transfer exists to coordinate the exchange of technology and expertise among these various agencies. The organization and operation of this consortium are described, and suggestions are given for making it more effective in serving the technology needs of the nation. (Author)
