We applaud he commissioning o hese repors bu believe we canno aord o wai ha long o akeacion. a’s why we convened in he spring o 2011 he group o expers lised on he ollowing page. We spen wo days in wide-ranging discussion abou he compeiive srenghs and weaknesses o ournaion’s scienic endeavors and our economy, beore setling upon he opics ha consiue he serieso repors we publish here. Each paper in he series looks a a dieren pillar supporing U.S. scienceand economic compeiiveness in a globally compeiive economy:
•

In his way,horough-going reorm is assured.is new commission may no adop some o he proposals pu orh in his series on science andeconomic compeiiveness. Bu we look orward o sharing our vision wih policymakers as well as he American people. Presiden Obama ges i righ when he says, “o win he uure, we will have o ou-innovae, ou-educae, and ou-build” our compeior naions. We need o sar now.
