         | One of the most important tasks that the NSTC performs is to prepare
coordinated R&D strategies and budget recommendations to orient science and
technology toward achieving national goals. To do so, the NSTC established five
goal-oriented committees.
- Committee on Environment and
Natural Resources
- Committee on International
Science, Engineering, and Technology
- Committee on National
Security
- Committee on Science
- Committee on
Technology
Each committee is chaired by a senior official or officials from a
Federal agency/department and is co-chaired by a White House Office of Science
and Technology Policy (OSTP) Senate-confirmed Associate Director. In
addition the NSTC has established an interagency working group to
implement recommendations found in the August 1999 President's Committee of
Advisors for Science and Technology Report Powerful Partnerships.
A private sector President's Committee of Advisors on
Science and Technology assists the Council to ensure that Federal
science and technology policies reflect the full spectrum of the Nation's
needs.
