Scientific paper

'Astronomy and Astrophysics for the 1980's', the report of the Astronomy Survey Committee of the National Academy of Sciences, is briefly reviewed. The most important programs recommended by the report are, in order of priority: (1) an advanced X-ray astrophysics facility to be operated as a permanent national observatory in space; (2) a very-long-baseline array of radio telescopes that would attain an angular resolution 100 times greater than that of any image forming telescope operating at any wavelength; (3) a 15-meter-class optical-infrared new-technology telescope; (4) a large deployable reflector in space to observe the region between the infrared and radio bands accessible from the earth's surface. An attempt is made to determine whether such reports make a difference, and the total costs projected in the report are discussed.
