longs. " What can be done to relate transportation planning to the
rest of a community or area's development can also be done to assess
the effect of possible public works projects, or even particular public
policies, on other existing public program or on the economic and
social life of individual communities or the State itself. There is
thus opening up the possibility of moving the art of government at
least a little closer to becoming a deliberate, calculable science.

The Federal Office of Economic Opportunity, the Department of
Defense, and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration
are leading the way for the federal government on this far-out front —
and on complex questions with national, global, and outer space
frames of reference. We are particularly fortunate in having close at
hand institutions of higher learning and a number of private organi-
zations with the specialists and equipment needed to probe the more
important and complicated questions in the environment, economy,
and social organization of this state. Maryland's aerospace teams are
playing a leading role in exploring space. They should also be en-
listed to help analyze our more intractable problems right here at
home. The immediate objective is not set up a large electronics data
processing system at public expense but to identify and define how
we can best make use of this new technology. In order to get this
effort started, I am asking the Governor's Science Resources Advisory
Board to recommend by next June 1 how the new technology can best
expedite the work of the proposed reorganization Commission, and
then to consider by next December 1 several substantive areas of
State responsibility in which the techniques of operation analyses and
systems engineering may be most effectively applied. The latter re-
ports will be submitted to my successor for his consideration. My
fundamental reason for referring to the new technology is as an il-
lustration of the new frontiers and breakthroughs which I believe
are now opening up for state government. It is my earnest hope that
the Legislature, as well as executive branch, will fully consider these
technological opportunities and make full use of them to help move
the state government boldly ahead.

PERSONNEL RECRUITING

Parallel with utilizing the most advanced analytical skills and
equipment, I believe that long-term steps must be taken to assure
that we attract the most competent personnel for our administrative
agencies. Maryland's proximity to the federal government creates
