Nominations are being sought for the National Medal of Technology, America's
equivalent to the Nobel Prize.

Nomination forms may be obtained from: www.technology.gov/medal

Submission deadline: April 27, 2005

The National Medal of Technology is the highest honor awarded by the
President of the United States to America's leading innovators.  Established
by an act of Congress in 1980, the Medal of Technology was first awarded in
1985.  The Medal is given annually to individuals, teams, and/or
companies/divisions for their outstanding contributions to the Nation's
economic, environmental, and social well-being through the development and
commercialization of technology products, processes, and concepts;
technological innovation; and development of the Nation's technological
manpower.

The purpose of the National Medal of Technology is to recognize those who
have made lasting contributions to America's competitiveness, standard of
living, and quality of life through technological innovation, and to
recognize those who have made substantial contributions to strengthening the
Nation's technological workforce.  By highlighting the national importance
of technological innovation, the Medal also seeks to inspire future
generations of Americans to prepare for and pursue technical careers to keep
America at the forefront of global technology and economic leadership.

Selection Process
The National Medal of Technology Evaluation Committee reviews and evaluates
all nominations for the Medal of Technology.  The Committee makes its
recommendations for Medal candidates to the Secretary of Commerce, who in
turn makes recommendations to the President for final selection.  The
National Medal of Technology Laureates are announced by the White House and
the Department of Commerce once the Medalists are notified of their selection.

"The American spirit of innovation is the heart of our nation's economic
strength and prosperity.  We are challenged to continue expanding new
frontiers of knowledge to maintain global competitiveness and an
ever-improving quality of life," said Mildred Porter, Director, National
Medal of Technology.  "The National Medal of Technology recognizes American
innovators whose vision, creativity, and brilliance in moving ideas to
market have had profound and last impact on our economy and way of life."

Nominations are being accepted until April 27, 2005.  The National Medal of
Technology Evaluation Committee encourages diverse and high-quality
nominations for the 2006 Medals.  Nomination forms may be obtained by
