Holdren, Assistant to the President for Science and Technology, and Director, Office of Science and Technology Policy, Executive Office of the President, The White House; and Dr. Eric S.

Closed Portion of the Meeting: PCAST may hold a closed meeting of approximately one hour with the President on March 9, 2012, which must take place in the White House for the President’s scheduling convenience and to maintain Secret Service protection.

If more speakers register than there is space available on the agenda, PCAST will randomly select speakers from among those who applied. Those not selected to present oral comments may always file written comments with the committee.
