Ensuring the Best Presidential and Federal Advisory Committee Science and Technology Appointments, eBooks, eBook Download (EPUB), In 2004, an ad hoc committee was charged with preparing this third report examining the most senior S&amp;T appointments to federal government positions and updating the accompanying list of the most urgent S&amp;T presidential appointments. Sufficient changes have occurred since the National Academies 2000 report on presidential appointments&quote;including the 2001 terrorist attacks, the anthrax deaths, the reorganization of homeland-security activities in the federal government, new developments in S&amp;T, and concerns about the politicization of S&amp;T decision making and advice&quote;to warrant this new edition. In contrast with previous reports on the subject, this one covers not only presidential appointments to top S&amp;T leadership positions but also the appointment of scientists, engineers, and health professionals to serve on federal advisory committees that focus on science-based policy or on the review of research proposals. The committee recognizes that other areas of federal responsibility are as important as S&amp;T, but S&amp;T appointments are the only ones within its purview.
