Abstract:
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) of the Department of Commerce has been a major player in the Administration's strategy for civilian technology investment. However, the 104 Congress curtailed the expansion of the NIST budget; overall funding levels declined by 18% between FY1995 and FY1997. For FY1998, the Administration had proposed support for NIST at $692.5 million. The amount appropriated by P.L. 105-119 was $677.9 million. Although less than requested, the funding was 20% above FY1997. This support included $276.9 million for Scientific and Technical Research and Services ($5 million of which was vetoed by the President), $192.5 million for the Advanced Technology Program (ATP), $113.5 million for the Manufacturing Extension Partnership (MEP), and $95 million for construction. The Administration's budget request for FY1999 is $715 million, a 6% increase over the past year.
