Pattslle Report on "Evaluation of Research Jteeda end fonwlttioQ of Research Program* By aid 1956 a need v ii fait by the Technical Steering Coralttee for the establi Aheert of a well defined, long-range research pregraa for usage as a refer ence structure lr. th* evaluation end programing of re coons* nded L.I.A, research ex penditure*. Xor* epe-ifically, it w* felt that the existing practice of consider ing individual project*, per , without re 1 1 on to orttbllshed long-range objec tive*, right readily lead to inhalAs.*, rvsl c:tly with regard to futw:tloti, but Also with respect to typej Applied v# basic And Aggressive v* defensive. Aftsr considered discussion the e*rly femulation of long-range research plan was deeced advinablw, It was further felt expedient to expose cur preblec to "n*v lock" by seeking the jlstA:.ce cf c cocp-eter.t external consultant group of wide experience *r.d contacts. A sub cocx-.it tee w*j appointed to screen the field cod ofctcir. cost estimates for such asjistance. Tfree propos*l* were obtained end evaluated (Stcnferd Research Ir.et., B*itll and A. D. Little). These were euhxitted to your group (ct the 195? Annuel L.I.A. Meeting', along with our recore.er.4ation thet F.atteLia be awarded the study. This recocc.er.dstior, w* Approved by both your eroup end the Fc*rd of Directors. Th* accompanying report ""valuetior of Hess Arch Seeds And Foreulatico of A Res*crch frc.gra s ," represents the cOni-uetler. of Joint iirteri* Fatt*ll*-T.S.C. efforts. The study wss set in notion with the Kay 27, 1957 seetLng in ColtMbua, Cb.lo, between the T.S.C. end pertinent umbers of the Bettelle eteff. Here-the scop*, character And limit* of th* etudy were defined, l.e., it w* Agreed! 2u. khlle defensive measures for the maintenance of existing markets could not be depreciated, that L.I.A. research objec tives should be weighted toward A*rk*t expansion in Ares* wh.erc the properties of lead and it* products sdght answer industries' needs. it That reccwrrerdstior# for th* actual tilting and placement of suggested areas cf research were outside the scope of the etudy. Such sctlon w held to be the function of the T.5.C. to be formulated on the merit* of individual case* as the occasion arose. En to Industry Development Coraaittee, L.I.A. -2- february a, 1958 2j , That Battalia should proceed at independent of tha L.I.A. mocberehip at possible *0 th*t the study would re flect sr. entirely fresh approach, not. influenced bytb# opinion# of thoaa ir. dose continuous touch with tha lari industry. .i A subsequent joint 'Guidance* meeting was alto held at lolusbus on Octo ber 2U, 1957 for tha purpose of general review and advice prior to tha eeasefcly of tha final report. * After tha recalpt of tha final Battalia report, and tha allowance of adequate tie# fcr lr.il rl dual cor. ti da rat lan by it* jesefcerahip, tha ?5#C< met on i January 9, 1958 for diac-uaaloo and avaluation. i i 7vs rtcHsrcjg srs t v Hj g cootrrws * gy^>::as c- mt t h ii ivm 1 I Tha consensus of individual express! or regarding tha Battalia report aa a **ahola* (presentation, sccpe, diligence exhibited, etc.) waa quite favorabla.
