How Our Government Chooses a Technology for Suppor

Posted by Anonymous . updated on 2/26/2009
I feel that I owe it to my fellow IP developers to share with you the responsibilities that belong to us the people, a subject that I belive, most of us know very little about.

Technology and How It Becomes an Issue of Support by Our Government.

Since, inventors and inventions have a lot to do with improving the quality of life for people that you should naturally have an interest in the policies of our
bureaucracy,, and so I have posted this letter with the intentions of sharing with you the replies, etc.

The following is a lettewr sent today by me to the Defense Department Inspector General.


Subject: How Our Government Chooses a Technology for Support

Defense, Department of
The Honorable Claude M. Kicklighter, Inspector General



Dear Sir,

I am sending this regarding my request for information.

In the past I have been involved privately and in some cases, in association with others in
the design research and development of  technology, mainly in the field of helicopter equipment.
I have run into the problems concerning my need to get to the facts and clear them up.

I need your advice concerning the following,
Please tell me who would is responsible for bringing up the need for specific technologies that
would be supported by government interest such as a technology important enough that offices of the government, such as the Defense Department, would want to list as a topic for the support of research and
development, for obvious reasons, namely improving the quality of performance.

How do these projects get chosen for support and by who ?
I will very much appreciate your answer.

Sincerely,
Jp
**************************************

The value and intentions of this letter are directly related to the IP that I have been involved in.

The reason I am exploring the answer to who and how is for the reason of directing my research and development through the (public) government domain.

I feel that if I can find out, . . if or does the government have an interest in this developing technology, . . .

the truthfulness of the answer is important to me, because, . .  if they do not know about it, I feel strongly that they should, that gives me a job, . . .and if they already do have an interest, since, I am at the very least, a laymen who is directly involved in the development, that also gives me the possibilities of a job !

You know how important having a job can be, and I think that should be very understandable.

Your comments advice and suggestions will be welcome.

Jp
