    ORGANIZATION OF THE REPORT The remainder of the report is organized as follows. Sections 2 through 8 provide descriptions of the critical technologies and the rationale for their selection at the technology sub-area level, i.e., one level further in depth than shown in Table 1. Each subsection also includes a benchmarking analysis of U.S. standing vis a vis the world-wide state of the art. Section 9 discusses federal government R&D activities in areas related to critical technologies and provides examples of specific programs in government and the private sector. Finally, Section 10 draws together the analyses in the previous sections and presents findings and recommendations as they relate to the development of critical technologies. The names and activities of specific companies appear in many places in this report. These are included in order to provide specific examples in the discussion. No endorsement of any company or its activities is implied. The mention is also not intended to imply that those companies are the only ones engaged in the activities under discussion.
