From Staff Reports
USC's Baruch marine research
laboratory near Georgetown was dedicated
by President Reagan's top adviser Tuesday.
Dr. George Kevworth, a nuclear weapons
physicist named last August to the top
federal science post, told the group attending
the dedication ceremonies that the
Reagan administration i. committed to
keeping the same level of federal financial
support for basic scientific research.
Kevworth did warn the group of scientists
and university officials that "federal interest
doesn't exist in a vacuum. It's
stimulated by several concrete national
objectives."
Kevworth went on to cite some of these
national objectives, such as the obligation of
wealthy nations to extend the limits of
scientific knowledge. He said the United
States is in such a position to do this type of
intellectual exploration and should take
every opportunity to do so.
He said, however that the United States
must be careful what type of research they
decide to pursue. "The United States has to
look closely at the kind of science and
technology it supports."
Keyworth said times had changed since
the 1960s when the United States was able to
be less discriminating about what projects it
supported because the economy vas
booming. He said then it was possible for the
administration could ensure "that the best
and most productive science and scientists
would be supported."
He said today the administration must be
more careful in the programs which thev
select and search for research projects that

could thrive "in the testbed of the market
place."
He said the administration would have to
depend on these marketplace mechanisms
to a great extent to determine how much to
fund these programs.
He said tne United States will continue to
be the world leader in science and said this
would continue despite America's loss of its
large competitive edge over other industrialized
nations. He said the nation lost
that lead when the standard of living was
rising rapidly and people felt secure.
He said at that time the United States
stopped concentrating on production and
turned toward distributing our wealth and
resources. He said many people involved in
science and technology "forgot'' to use all
the new knowledge.
"We assumed, wrongly, that knowledge
would antnmatipallv finH ifc

He said a reorientation of American institutions
and practices would be needed to
compete with foreign technology which, at
the moment, "strikes close to our economic
heart."
Keyworth was the keynote speaker at the
dedication ceremonies. Other speakers at
the dedication included Dr. John L. Rrooks
