SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Purpose of the Board: PCAST is an advisory group of the nation's
leading scientists and engineers, appointed by the President to augment
the science and technology advice available to them from the White
House, cabinet departments, and other Federal agencies. See the
Executive order at <a href="http://whitehouse.gov">whitehouse.gov</a>. PCAST is consulted on and provides
analyses and recommendations concerning a wide range of issues where
understanding of science, technology, and innovation may bear on the
policy choices before the President. Information about PCAST can be
found at: <a href="http://www.whitehouse.gov/PCAST">www.whitehouse.gov/PCAST</a>.
Tentative Agenda:
PCAST may discuss and consider for approval a report on social
science and may discuss science and technology opportunities for
America's future. Additional information and the meeting agenda,
including any changes that arise, will be posted on the PCAST website
at: <a href="http://www.whitehouse.gov/PCAST/meetings">www.whitehouse.gov/PCAST/meetings</a>.
Public Participation: The sessions are open to the public. The
meeting will be held in a virtual manner for members of the public. It
is the policy of PCAST to accept written public comments no longer than
10 pages and to accommodate oral public comments whenever possible.
PCAST expects that public statements presented at its meetings will not
be repetitive of previously submitted oral or written statements.
