Govermnent: Keyworth at mid-term: An exclusive report from Presidential Science Advisor George A. Keyworth II on technology policy in the Reagan administration

When George A. Keyworth II was appointed science advisor to the President two years ago. scientists and engineers in the United States, while not knowing much about Dr. Keyworth, were gratified that the post of science advisor would not be left empty in the new administration. That initial gratification may have since been forgotten. What some scientists and engineers are beginning to realize is that Dr. Keyworth is not so much their spokesman to President Reagan as the President's spokesman to them. For Dr. Keyworth, there never was any question about his mission from the day he took the job.
