After a few initial remarks I want to address myself more narrowly to the problem of the relationship of universities and government and the question of scholarship. The introductory remarks I'd like to make have a sense of urgency. If you study the political process of the U.S. government, you really realize that the spring months are months of decisions (particularly when new administrations come in), partly because all decisions involve the budgetary process — it's what Professor Huntington calls the interrelationship of strategy and structure. Obviously, whatever decisions you make you have to back up with resources. Now, I suggest, major fights and conflicts are going on in Washington over matters that are going to affect all of us. One of them that has already been touched upon is the question of the arms race. There is a lot of evidence that the country must devote between 10 and 12 percent of its gross national product to defense spending. Whether this need be so, economically, I don't know, but I have a suspicion that either putting it all in space or putting it all in cities would not be feasible unless there were some major structural rearrangements. I've also been told by a number of people that the cost of many kinds of weapons seems to go down each year. If you've got to spend between 10 and 12 percent of the gross national product on weapons, we're going to reach a trillion. Yet if certain weapons, like MIRV, for example, don't cost as much, relatively speaking, you've got to think of new types of junk to manufacture. I suggest that this present ABM Sentinel System, which is an absurdity, is going to be typical-is perhaps typical already-of all kinds of weaponry junk that has been and will be designed to keep defense spending high. There are a lot of jokes about F-111-its wings falling off. There is a study now making the rounds in Washington about the declining effectiveness of weapons systems. Now big decisions are being made on new weapons.

I want to direct my comments to the scientists and engineers of today, but particularly of tomorrow, because I feel they have a special responsibility to mankind and the universe in which they find themselves, which comes from two special factors of their identity. One is that presumably we as technologists are trained in the pursuit of truth. You know that's a very profound and challenging kind of assignment, and we don't always do it to the best of our ability, and we don't always observe it with the greatest of our loyalty. Second, we have a responsibility of leadership in the commitment of resources in our companies and in our communities because the technologist today is in a unique position; he is able to see into the future much more accurately than in any other discipline. We are a uniquely future-oriented discipline. And so we have these two responsibilities — to pursue truth and to lead in the commitment of resources in a direction that will benefit mankind and leave the universe better off than the way we found it.

I'm a little bothered about speaking on the topic of the responsibility of intellectuals, because I think that my credentials are somewhat shaky, from both the point of view of responsibility and the point of view of being an intellectual, since I haven't worked on my thesis in about four months because of this March 4 business. I've been accused of being somewhat less than responsible about that by, among other people, my mother-in-law. But these remarks misrepresent any feeling of levity that I might be bringing to this occasion.
