Stranica 212 - ... President shall, as soon as practicable, take such action as may be necessary to bring trade agreements heretofore entered into, and the application thereof, into conformity with principles promoting the development of an open, nondiscriminatory, and fair world economic system. The action and principles referred to in the preceding sentence include, but are not limited to, the following...
Stranica 150 - In others, particularly some branches of Medicine and the Social Sciences, one cannot experiment readily, if at all, and the detailed analysis of available historical data is most appropriate. In this respect, they resemble Military Science very closely. In choosing weapon systems some experimentation is possible but a great deal of analysis is also required. In fact, in the development of weapon system analysis, one is more handicapped than in most of the sciences, for fully realistic tests come...
Stranica 150 - First, the method of science is an open, explicit, verifiable selfcorrecting process. It combines logic and empirical evidence. The method and tradition of science require that scientific results be openly arrived at in such a way that any other scientist can retrace the same steps and get the same result. Applying this to weapon systems and to strategy would require that all calculations, assumptions, empirical data, and judgments be described in the analysis in such a way that they can be subjected...
Stranica 14 - ... to establish an Office of Population Affairs in the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare as a primary focus within the Federal Government on matters pertaining to population research and family planning, through which the Secretary of Health, Education, and Welfare (hereafter in this Act referred to as the "Secretary") shall carry out the purposes of this Act.
Stranica 209 - Why can not the scientists who can cleanse instruments to spend germ free years in space devise a method to end the present pollution of air and water here on earth? Why can not highly trained manpower, which can calculate a way to transmit pictures for millions of miles in space, also show us a way to transmit enough simple information to keep track of our criminals?
Stranica 93 - Division of Highways in cooperation with the US Bureau of Public Roads.
Stranica 149 - ... physicists advertised as experts on thermonuclear war despite the fact that they have never done any empirical study of war and know nothing about it, and this must also be tiresome to a military man. But the point is not the authority of science or of scientists. Rather, it is the method of science. What are the relevant characteristics of scientific method as applied to the problem of choosing strategies and selecting weapon systems? There are several. First, the method of science is an open,...
Stranica 177 - OF THE COMMITTEE ON LABOR AND PUBLIC WELFARE, Washington, DC The subcommittee met at 9:30 am, pursuant to call, in room 4200, New Senate Office Building, Senator Walter F.
Stranica 151 - Numbers are a part of our language. Where a quantitative matter is being discussed, the greatest clarity of thought is achieved by using numbers instead of by avoiding them, even when uncertainties are present. This is not to rule out judgment and insight. Rather, it is to say, that judgments and insights need, like everything else, to be expressed with clarity if they are to be useful. "Let me emphasize the point about uncertainties. Many people seem to feel that quantitative analysis is not possible...
Stranica 3 - ... organizations, 1* for the purpose of causing the systems analysis and systems 15 engineering approaches to be applied to national or local 16 problems of types which the Secretary, by regulations, desig17 nates as being within the purview of this Act. 18 SEC. 4.
