About the Presidents Committee of Advisors on
Science and Technology
President Clinton established the President's Committee of
Advisors on Science and Technology (PCAST) by Executive Order 12882 in November
1993. The responsibilities of PCAST are “to advise the President on issues
involving science and technology and their roles in achieving national goals,
and to assist the National Science and Technology Council (NSTC) in securing
private sector participation in its activities.” NSTC is a cabinet-level
council chaired by the President that coordinates research and development
policies and activities across Federal agencies. The formal link between PCAST
and NSTC ensures that the private sector perspective is included in the
policy-making process.
