...There is no doubt that the Government has become the pervasive senior partner in most research. Ten years ago, U.S. business financed two-thirds of the nation's research; today Government finances two-thirds of it-to the benefit of relatively few industries. Of the Government's multi-billion dollar disbursement to U.S. business for research and development this year, more than 90% will go to just five industries (aerospace, electronics, autos, machinery and chemicals), and a full 30% to just four companies (Lockheed, General Dynamics, Boeing and North American Aviation).
