George Kozmetsky (October 5, 1917 - April 30, 2003 in Austin, Texas) was an American technology innovator, businessman, educator, author and philanthropist. He co-founded Teledyne Inc. and was the dean of The University of Texas College of Business Administration for 16 years. In 1977 Dr. Kozmetsky founded the IC Institute, a think tank charged with researching the intersection of business, government and education. In 1993 he received the National Medal of Technology Award from President Bill Clinton. This report is a formulation of the more compelling issues that call for immediate policy-level attention. The propositions and initiatives which were formulated are discussed in chapters covering areas such as understanding information technology; the need for an independent center to formulate national information policy; impacts of information technology on questions of individual privacy and the public interest; sociological impact of information technology on changing values, concepts, and life styles; the desirability, requirements, and priorities for the development of new nationwide information systems; implications of information technology for management; uses of information technology and the systems approach for national problem solving, resources allocation, and opportunity development; research and development; closing the literacy gap between users and nonusers of communications technology; and maintaining talents and skills essential to an information dependent society.…

2pp., 4to. Bifolium. Text complete, on aged paper with a number of closed tears repaired with archival tape. The second leaf of the bifolium, lacking a strip at the top, is docketed 'Dr. Morris of Parliament Street's Success in curing Persons afflicted with Complaints similar to that which His Majesty labours under'. Considering the political content at the end of the letter, the author is probably Charles Hamilton, at the time of writing known by his courtesy title of Lord Binning. Hamilton begins his letter: 'I beg leave to communicate to you that Doctor Morris of Parliament Street, Physician to the Army & of great skill & ability has lately successfully recovered three Persons labouring under the same disorder which now afflicts our gracious Sovereign; viz: Mr. Woolery of Jamaica, Mr. Walker of John Street & lastly the Anatomist Mr. Sheldon whose case in particular he considers to have been exactly parallel to that of His Majesty. [According to his entry in the Oxford DNB, Sheldon had an attack of 'brain fever' in 1788.] Doctor Morris moreover, has repeatedly declared to me that he had not a doubt, with the Almighty's blessing, of restoring the King in a short time'. Morris is 'well known to & in habits of friendship with Mr. Dundas of Richmond'. He ends with by discussing some political matters: 'after several flattering assurances, Mr. Rose at last has declined all together entering the minute promised by Mr. Pitt & [.] unless you have the goodness to speak your self to the Minister on the subject, nothing will be done'. In reporting Morris's death, The Times, 31 May 1791, described him as: late Inspector General and Physician to his Majesty's forces in America.' Munk's Roll states that he was 'elected physician to the Westminster hospital in 1761, and retained his office for thirty years'. It also states, apparently erroneously, that he was a Fellow of the Royal Society.…
