About the National Science and Technology Council
The National Science and Technology Council (NSTC) was established
by Executive Order on November 23, 1993. This Cabinet-level council
is the principal means for the President to coordinate science, space,
and technology policies across the Federal government. NSTC acts as
a "virtual agency" for science and technology to coordinate
the diverse parts of the Federal research and development enterprise.
The NSTC is chaired by the President. Membership consists of the Vice
President, Assistant to the President for Science and Technology,
Cabinet Secretaries, agency heads with significant science and technology
responsibilities, and other White House officials.
