Federal Government assistance to colleges and universities is recommended in order to make up deficiencies in educational computing facilities and to support leadership and innovation at those institutions which presently have computer facilities. By 1971, an estimated annual outlay of $400 million will be necessary to give undergraduates adequate computer services. Universities should use accounting procedures which will enable them to determine and control computer costs. The Federal Government can provide flexible support for the purchase or rental of computer equipment and services, for research and education in computer science, for faculty training in computer use and, in cooperation with colleges, establish central computing facilities capable of serving several institutions simultaneously. A group, established jointly by the National Science Fourndation and the Office of Education, is recommended to investigate and publish data on computer use in secondary schools. Statistics and forecasts concerning computers and the jobs and personnel associated with them can be made available by the Federal Government. Appendices to the report include estimates of the cost and capacity of an adequate computer service as well as data on existing computer facilities and present government expenditures in the field.
