From page 63...
... DR. RICHARDSON: I think you have to keep in mind that the objective here was to identify the priorities for the OST Program of University Research.

... For example, in network or flow management, the universities might be better able to handle the problem of developing new algorithms to solve large-scale network problems rather than solving specific network applications. Some of this algorithm development is going on in TARP at the moment -- we have a fairly substantial network program underway.

... I think it is very important, in several instances, that one of the prerequisites for proposals in any of these areas for research undertaken by the Office of University Research would be a very good knowledge of what is going on in the field -- as well as in the department -- and I think that speaks both to Bill's comment and to the comment here.

... I apologize for the possible tone of it, but if that is the case, then I think I disagree with your allocation of about 50-50 between the hard and soft sciences.
