Description
Executive Order 12999, signed in April 1996, streamlines the transfer of excess and surplus federal computer equipment to schools and nonprofit organizations. In response to a request from Congress, the Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) asked the RAND Critical Technologies Institute (CTI) in November 1996 to report on the progress federal agencies have made and the problems they have encountered in implementing this Executive Order. This documented briefing discusses private-sector, nonprofit and state-sponsored programs that transfer used computer equipment to elementary and secondary schools. There are literally thousands of such programs in the United States which in total provide more than 100,000 computers annually, or roughly 10 percent of all the computers acquired by K-12 schools.
