Actions Taken or Proposed To Support the Recommendations of the National Agricultural Research and Extension Users Advisory Board. Frequency/Due Date: Fiscal Year (Annually)/ With the annual budget OMB Funding Code/Title: 12-0118-0-1-352 / Advisory committees Congressional Relevance: House Committee on Agriculture; Senate Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition and Forestry; House Committee on Appropriations; Senate Committee on Appropriations Authority: Agriculture and Food Act of 1981 (P.L. 97-98, title XIV, § 1405; 95 Stat. 1298; 7 U.S.C. 3121(6)). Availability: Agency

Geographic Relevance: National

Requirement: With the annual budget, the Secretary of Agriculture shall report to the House Agriculture Committee and the Senate Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry Committee on actions taken or proposed to support the recommendations of the Advisory Board.

Abstract: Agriculture is the nation's number one industry. It has capital assets equal to 88 percent of the capital assets of all manufacturing corporations in the United States. The payroll for Agriculture employees alone is more than the combined payrolls of the transportation, steel, and automotive industries. Agriculture is the livelihood of about 19 million people who store, transport, process, and merchandize the output of America's four million farmers, foresters, and ranchers. Biotechnology is a critical entity in shaping a better future for U.S. agriculture, and a national commitment must be undertaken immediately. This must be a first priority of the Department of Agriculture. The thrust of this development must be the strengthening of the national research capacity. The long-term potential of a biotechnology program outweighs other segments of the Department's efforts. This program should be given budgetary priority over other segments of the Department's budget. The efforts are supported to control total budget increases, but these modest increases can be justified.

Agricultural Research, Extension, and Education Recommendations--Report to the Secretary by the National Research and Extension Users Advisory Board.

Frequency/Due Date: Annually/ July 1

OMB Funding Code/Title: 12-0118-0-1-352 / Advisory committees
Congressional Relevance: House Committee on Agriculture; Senate
Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition and Forestry
Authority: Agriculture and Food Act of 1981 (P.L. 97-98, title XIV, §
1408; 95 Stat. 1300; 7 U.S.C. 3123(f)(2)(E)).
Availability: Agency

Geographic Relevance: International/Foreign; National
Requirement: The Advisory Board shall have the specific responsibili-
ties for preparing and submitting to the Secretary, not later than July 1
of each year, a statement of recommendations as to allocations of
responsibilities and levels of funding among federally supported agricul-
tural research and extension programs, which include a review and an
assessment of the allocation of funds for agricultural research and exten-
sion made for the preceding fiscal year by the organizations represented
on the Joint Council. Minority views, if timely submitted, shall be in-
cluded in the submission. The Secretary, shall submit copies of the
statement to the Subcommittee on Food and Renewable Resources of
the Federal Coordinating Council for Science, Engineering, and Tech-
nology. Abstract: This report of the National Research and Extension
Users Advisory Board (UAB) focuses on the need for cell biology re-
search. Biotechnical research areas identified as program priorities
which hold promise for significant scientific research in agriculture are:
(1) genome structure and gene expression; (2) resistance mechanisms of
plants and trees to pests and diseases; (3) crop germplasm conservation;
(4) plant biological stress; (5) rhizosphere research; (6) animal disease
resistance; and (7) animal biological stress. Increasing support for agri-
cultural research through competitive funds granted by non-Department
of Agriculture agencies such as the National Science Foundation and
Department of Energy has produced a fundamental shift in capacity to
conduct frontier research from the time honored Agricultural Research
Service and State Agricultural Experiment Station (SAES) system to a
handful of SAES and private universities with the scientific expertise,
equipment, and instrumentation necessary to stimulate scientific
discovery. Scientific breakthoughs in these facilities are shared on a
scientist-to-scientist basis with the increasingly large private agribusiness
scientific staffs for commercial application. It it is not known what im-
pact emerging institutional affiliations will have upon agriculture's essen-
tial technological base.
