Recognizing the high value of information and knowledge, as well as the need for a safe and efficiently retrievable storage of the records of such knowledge, the Congress of the United States established some years ago an independent agency known as the National Commission on Libraries and Information Science. This agency was entrusted with the responsibility of developing and recommending a plan leading to the improvement of library and information services in the United States. Its work has progressed slowly. Various committees and task forces have been appointed, and they are in the process of conducting their investigations and preparing their reports.

In 1981, in response to growing concerns that the United States was falling behind the rest of the world educationally, the federal Secretary of Education created a national commission on excellence in education. This commission was charged with gathering data about the status of U.S. education compared to the rest of the developed world and to define the problems which would have to be faced to successfully pursue the course of excellence in education.
