John J. Castellani statement on the 50th Anniversary of Sputnik
“Business Roundtable CEOs know that U.S. leadership in science and technology is essential to economic growth, national security and a productive future for our nation. Sputnik triggered a movement for America to maintain its competitive edge in these areas. Business leaders recognize the value science, technology, engineering and math bring to the global economy and they are investing heavily in education, rather than waiting for another Sputnik moment to galvanize the country,” said John J. Castellani, president of Business Roundtable.
