Abstract: As many of you know, I wear two professional hats-engineer and lawyer. Its been a while since Ive done any constructive work with either but I used to work for a living. As a matter of fact, I got a plaque Saturday night from your section leadership that revoked my law license. I thought that was rather a creative way to get disbarred. But it seems in Washington, its my lawyers hat that gets a lot of wear. Thats not necessarily my choice. Its just the fashion. Lets face it, Washington has more than its share of lawyers. So, you can imagine my surprise-and subtle delight-when one of the Capitals smartest and most experienced lawyers, and former Member of Congress, Deputy Department of Energy Secretary Henson Moore said what his department needs is a few more engineers and a few less lawyers at his department. Now, speaking to this huge gathering of engineers, its hard to imagine needing more of you, but Deputy Secretary Moore was right. He knew that if the United States was going to be an efficient, competitive, and successful economic power in the future we needed more engineers . . . to make the wheels of progress work. And he knows - as does his boss, Energy Secretary James Watkins, who has emphasized this point repeatedly-that the U.S. is falling behind its principal international economic competitors in preparing mathematicians, scientists . . . and engineers. So people in high places are once again coming to recognize the importance of your contributions.
