Dear Mr. Kratsios,

On behalf of the American Chemical Öйú365betÖÐÎĹÙÍø (ACS), and its more than 200,000 chemical scientists and engineers, I would like to congratulate you on your confirmation as the Director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP).

As leader of OSTP, and as the Presidential Science Advisor, you have a wonderful opportunity to provide strong leadership to ensure that sound, fact-based science continues to be used in a transparent manner across the federal government. Our global scientific leadership may be challenged by other nations, but your support for our vital research, education, and innovation infrastructure will help ensure the United States continued global leadership while also driving domestic economic growth.

Be assured that ACS is ready to work with OSTP in fulfilling your important priorities, many of which are shared by ACS. We offer the assistance of our members who have deep expertise in everything from scientific discovery and integrity to education and workforce development to technology transfer and commercialization.

I look forward to working with you to build a productive scientific enterprise ready to address the challenges facing our nation. I would welcome the opportunity to meet with you soon to discuss your vision for OSTP and how ACS can support the office’s critical analyses and scientific policies.

Again, please accept my congratulations on your confirmation and do not hesitate to contact me if we may be of assistance.

Sincerely yours,

Albert G. Horvath
