Excerpt from Fy 1996 Ta/Nist Budget Authorization: Hearing Before the Subcommittee on Technology of the Committee on Science, U. S. House of Representatives, One Hundred Fourth Congress, First Session; March 23, 1995 Now that last program we think is very important, Madam Chairman, because that is essentially the business that we are about. We will speak to the details of atp and mep as we go forward, but let me just say a few other things to put in context for today's discussion. One of the issues is that clearly we have over the last few years been engaged in a long discussion of the Federal Government's role in the civilian technology infrastructure of the United States. And that debate is still continuing. In the past this has been a very bipartisan debate, and we hope that it continues that way, and it is our opinion that that is exactly the context in which the debate should happen because, you're right, in the days of constricted budgets we have to do the very best with the dollars that we can.
