      ABOUT THE OFFICE OF TECHNOLOGY ASSESSMENT
*********************************************************
The Office of Technology Assessment (OTA) was established by
Congress in 1972 to provide congressional committees with
analyses of emerging, difficult, and often highly technical
issues. Governed by a 12-member bipartisan congressional
board--six Senators and six Representatives, and the OTA
Director, who is a nonvoting member--OTA provides a variety
of services to the Senate and the House of Representatives
on a broad range of issues. Services include briefings,
testimony, and major assessment reports--some requiring more
than 2 years to complete. OTA explores complex issues
involving science and technology, helping Congress to
resolve uncertainties and conflicting claims, identifying
alternative policy options, and providing foresight or early
alert to new developments that could have important
implications for future Federal policy. OTA does not
advocate particular policies or actions, but points out
their pros and cons, sorts out the facts, and provides
opinions.
