    Message to the Congress Transmitting the Annual Report of the National
    Science Foundation
    April 17, 1991

    To the Congress of the United States:
        I am pleased to send you the annual report of the National Science
    Foundation for Fiscal Year 1990. This report describes research
    supported by the Foundation in the mathematical, physical, biological,
    social, behavioral, and computer sciences; engineering; and education in
    those fields.
        Achievements such as the ones described here are the basis for much
    of our Nation's strength--its economic growth, national security, and
    the overall well-being of our people.
        As we move into the 1990s, the Foundation will continue its efforts
    to expand our Nation's research achievements, our productivity, and our
    ability to remain competitive in world markets through innovation and
    discoveries.
        I commend the Foundation's work to you.

                                                                 George Bush

    The White House,
    April 17, 1991.
