The summit will focus on identifying new structures, systems and processes to improve technology transfer, and foster more cooperative and productive relationships between industry and government -- a need that has certainly been expressed repeatedly and forcefully here at COP5. "The Technology Summit has received enthusiastic support from the private and public sectors, and the US Congress. A consortium of national laboratories in the United States will be invited to participate. The Roundtable is forming a Steering Committee, chaired by Lawrence Papay, senior vice president and general manager of Bechtel, to provide leadership and strategic guidance. To date, Lucent, General Motors, Exxon and American Electric Power have joined as members of the Steering Committee. >> Now how does that go? Let's see. We'll give a big party, and you will make sure that you make laws that make us comfy and give us enormous amounts of taxpayer dollars, some of which we will actually spend on the research we're telling you we need to do. Isn't it comforting to know that Bechtel, Lucent, General Motors, Exxon and American Electric Power will be steering us into the 2lst Century?
