SOURCES OF PUBLIC COMMENT:
AFTER RELEASE OF INTERIM REPORT



On July 29, 1999, the National Science Board unanimously approved and released an Interim Report (NSB 99-133) that contained its findings and recommendations. The Interim Report was placed on the NSB web site, and the public was encouraged to comment through a variety of outreach efforts, including invitations to organizations with environmental interests and to NSF advisory committees. Between release of the Interim Report and November 30, 1999, the report on the web site received nearly 7,000 hits from people outside the Foundation. Over 40 written comments were received by e-mail, fax, and regular mail; some individuals submitted more than one set of comments. The name and affiliation of individual authors are listed below, followed by the names of people submitting comments as multiple signatories from an organization. Comments submitted by individuals did not necessarily represent organizational positions. However, if an organization's position was presented in an individual's comments, this is indicated by an asterisk (*) next to the organization's name.
