NOTE: The $70 billion of federal R&D, as traditionally calculated, is allocated mainly by seven appropriations subcommittees each in the House and Senate. The seven subcommittees that allocate most R&D funding and the activities over which they have appropriation authority are (1) Agricul- ture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies (most USDA R&D programs: FDA); (2) Commerce, Justice, State, the Judiciary, and Related Agencies (NIST, NOAA); (3) Energy and Water Development (most DOE R&D programs; civilian aspects of DOD, such as the Arm>' Corps of Engineers); (4) Interior and Related Agencies ( Geological Survey; DOE programs on fossil fuel, coal, and conservation; and USDA Forest Service); (5) Labor, Health and Human-Services, Education, and Related Agencies (NIH, Centers for Disease Control, Department of Education R&D programs); (6) National Security (most DOD R&D programs); and (7) Veterans Affairs, Housing and Urban Development, and Independent Agencies (Department of Veterans Affairs, EPA, NASA, NSF, OSTP). Each of the remaining six subcommittees allocates less than 5 percent of its appropriations authorit>' for R&D, most far less.

The fraction of funds going to R&D is a rough measure of the trade
