Authors: Genevieve J. Knezo, Resources, Science, and Industry Division 
Abstract: This report describes executive and legislative activities relating to research and development budgets and priority-setting that occurred primarily during FY1993 to FY2001, the period of the two Clinton Administrations. It includes detailed summaries of presidential priorities and congressional appropriations activities for R&D in the 104th to 106th Congresses. In addition, the report summarizes other salient issues discussed during this period relating to congressional earmarking of R&D projects, activities to coordinate R&D priority-setting, priorities for critical technologies, implementation of the Government Performance and Results Act of 1993 in R&D agencies, and priority-setting activities of the National Science and Technology Council.
