           DIGEST  :    This resolution honors the California Council on  
          Science and Technology (CCST) for 25 years of service and  
          unbiased advice to the State of California.

           ANALYSIS  :    This resolution makes the following legislative  
          findings: 

           1. The CCST was established in 1988 by ACR 162 and directed to  
             bring together experts from academia, industry, and other  
             research institutions in California to provide impartial  
             analyses on science and technological issues affecting the  
             state. 

           2. The CCST has worked effectively with the Legislature, the  
             Governor's office, and many state agencies to analyze  
             significant and challenging science and technology related  
             issues in California, ranging from education to climate  
             change and exploring California's energy future. 

                                                                CONTINUED

                                                                     Page

           3. The maintenance of California's scientific and technological  
             infrastructure is vital to the continued growth of this  
             state's economy; the CCST has proven an effective and  
             dedicated organization to the study, preservation, and  
             enhancement of this infrastructure.
          This resolution honors the CCST for 25 years of service and  
          unbiased advice to the State of California.
