content: This subseries includes information about the committee, which was charged to aid in examining questions of public policy affecting the advancement and utilization of scientific knowledge and to stimulate the study of such questions.  It is composed of academicians, government officials, and representatives from the private sector, and represents a means whereby the scientific-technical community can interact with the public and with decision-makers.

COSEPP subcommittees are as follows:  Academic Program and Policy Analysis (APPA), Federal R&D Budget, International Topics, Public-Private Sector Relationships in R&D, Science and Security, and State and Local Government.

Dr. Kranzberg served as Chairman of COESPP and APPA and prepared a paper for the AAAS Annual Meeting, Detroit, May 27, 1983 (the last material in this file) entitled "Social Responses To Advances In Manufacturing Technology: Some Historical Perspectives."

Annual Reports, Meetings, Symposiums, and related correspondence are included and arranged chronologically. Most of the information relates to COSEPP and APPA.
