  Mr. KLUG. Mr. Speaker, I would like to bring to your attention, and 
to the attention of my colleagues, that the Council of Scientific 
Society Presidents (CSSP) will mark its 25th Anniversary in 1998. CSSP 
is the nation's largest multidisciplinary consortium of scientific, 
engineering and technical societies. It is composed of over 60 
federations and societies, representing over 1.4 million scientists, 
engineers, technologists and educators.
  CSSP fosters communication and collaboration among all science and 
engineering disciplines and develops policy statements on issues of 
national scope. Through its network of leaders, CSSP facilitates the 
implementation of those policies.
  For 25 years, CSSP has been a leader and a voice of reason. CSSP has 
played a key role in the health of the S&T enterprise by developing a 
network of national leaders and serving as an advocate of wise science 
policy.
