It feela that this ratio must be flexible because basic research Bust necessarily feed applied research. Obviously therefor* at the outset, greater eaphaeis will have to be on basic research until it iarslcpa sere areas for applied research. The T.S.C. expects to vat-', this relationship continuously to be sure that th# balance la properly Maintained in accordance with conditions prevailing at any tine.
