departments, and other Federal 

agencies. See the Executive Order at 

http://www.whitehouse.gov/ostp/pcast. 

PCAST is consulted about and provides 

analyses and recommendations 

concerning a wide range of issues where 

understandings from the domains of 

science, technology, and innovation 

may bear on the policy choices before 

the President. PCAST is co-chaired by 

Dr. John P. 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.

are to be kept secret in the interest of 

national defense or foreign policy under
