TO } ADS OF I CUTIVE DEPARTMENTS AND AGENCIES
SUBJECT: Reports on research supported by the Federal Government under
contracts and grants
1. Purpose. This Bulletin established the requirement for the development
of listings of research (not development) contracts and grants and for the
submission of those listings to the Congress by all executive departments
and agencies by February 1, 1969. This Bulletin also requires that a
report on the estimated cost of compiling the information be submitted
to the Bureau of the-Budget by February 15, 1969-
2. Background. The requirement for listings of research contracts and
grants is responsive to a request from Senator Mansfield. The-Bureau under-
stands that this request is related to Congressional interest in the kinds
and cost of research and development being supported by various Federal
agencies and in the Executive Branch's arrangements for reviewing and
managing the Federally-sponsored R&D efforts. The listings submitted in
response to this Bulletin are limited to research-both("basic" and "applied")
and exclude' development contracts and grants. The Bureau recommends that
agencies be guided by the definitions of "research" developed by the
National Science Foundation in determining whether or not a particular project
is to be reported. The Bureau understands that the listings.'may be publised.
by the Congress.

and grants and be organized and indexed by "field of science." The
field of science classification system now in use by the reporting
agency may be used. The classification by field should be as
definitive as permitted by the agency system but generally no more
definitive than that used in the latest questionnaire for the NSF
Federal Funds edition. Within each field of science, contracts and
grants should be listed by organization(alphabetically) and by
principal investigator(also alphabetically). The indexing system
should be described in a letter accompanying the agency listings.
Classified projects. If listing of information of the type specified
above on any particular contract or grant would constitute classified
information, those projects are to be listed separately and marked with
the appropriate classification.
e. Copies of the Report. One copy of each listing is to be addressed
to Senator Mansfield and mailed or delivered to the offices of the
Senate Democratic Policy Committee, Room 5-118, in the Capitol. A
copy of the cover letter transmitting the listings should be sent
to the Director.. Bureau of the Budget, Attention: Economics, Science
and Technology Division. Copies of the listings are not to be provided
to the Bureau at this time, but agencies are expected to retain a
copy for reference for a reasonable period.
