The Carnegie Commission on Science, Technology, and Government has produced a set of reports which provide variations on one basic, underlying theme: the search for judicious use of science and technology in the context of humane, democratic values. Many steps should be taken in the organization and decision making of government to enhance the beneficial consequences of science and technology and to avert the unwanted. This document delineates some of these steps. Chapters are: "Preamble and Highlights of the Commission's Recommendations" (J. Lederberg); "The White House: Science & Technology and the President" (W. T. Golden); "Congress: Science, Technology, and the Legislative Process" (J. Brademas); "Judicial Decision Making: Creating Opportunities and Meeting Challenges" (H. L.
