Science and Technology Leadership in American Government: Ensuring the Best Presidential Appointments

---

This report is from a study of the federal government's capacity to recruit highly qualified individuals for the top science and technology (S&T)-related leadership positions in the executive branch. The effort was supported by the Carnegie Commission on Science, Technology, and Government and by the National Research Council Fund of the Academies—National Academy of Sciences, National Academy of Engineering, and Institute of Medicine. It was carried out by a panel of the Academies' Committee on Science, Engineering, and Public Policy. The panel was well suited for the task. It was composed of distinguished former presidential appointees who have worked in or interacted with key S&T- related positions, and experts in the presidential appointment process (Appendix A provides brief information on panel members). Among them, the panel members have had many years of experience as presidential appointees in the White House, Executive Office of the President, the Departments of State, Defense (including the Air Force and Navy), Transportation, Health and Human Services, and Energy, and in the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
