尽管美国的经济不景气状况总体说来没有明显好转,但美国总统1993财年研究与开发经费预算却比较慷慨。由此可见美国政府对科学技术研究的重视程度。基础科学研究与开发经赞增长8％,民用科学研究与开发经费增长7％,国防科学研究与开发经费增长不多,只有1％。预算案还增设了工业技术研究与开发拨款项。 Although the overall economic downturn in the United States has not seen any marked improvement in general, the U.S. President's budget for research and development in fiscal year 1993 is rather generous. This shows that the U.S. government attaches great importance to science and technology research. Basic science research and development rose 8%, while civil science research and development funds increased 7%. The expenditure on national defense scientific research and development has increased by only 1%. The budget also includes an appropriation of industrial technology research and development.
