National Medal of Science for Mathematics and Computer Science Isadore Singer (For his inspired revival of differential geometry and its connections to analysis; for his contribution to the discovery and applications of the index theorem for differential operators; and for his leadership in using geometric and topological methods in connection with theoretical physics.)
National Medal of Science for Biological Sciences Howard Bachrach (For his pioneering research in molecular virology, including identification of the immunizing protein, and his collaborative role in the use of gene splicing to produce the first effective protein vaccine for use in animals or humans.)
National Medal of Science for Biological Sciences Paul Berg (For fundamental contributions to understanding the mechanisms of gene expression, for the development of recombinant DNA, and for a deep concern for its safe and humane application to medicine.)
National Medal of Science for Physical Science Margaret Burbidge (For leadership in observational astronomy. Her spectroscopic investigations have provided crucial information about the chemical composition of stars and the nature of quasistellar objects.)
National Medal of Science for Physical Science Maurice Goldhaber (For his many contributions to all aspects of nuclear physics and more recently particle physics, and for the leadership he has provided the scientific community, as an administrator of science, as a shaper of scientific thought, and as a prolific source of stimulating ideas.)
National Medal of Science for Mathematics and Computer Science Herman Heine Goldstine (For his fundamental contributions to the development of the digital computer, computer programming and numerical analysis.)
National Medal of Science for Engineering William Redington Hewlett (For his pioneering accomplishments in the creation and manufacturing of electronics and semi-conductor devices and electronic test instruments.)
National Medal of Science for Chemistry Roald Hoffmann (His creative applications of theory to organic and inorganic chemistry have brought together the world community of chemists. The magnitude and uniqueness of his contributions to modern chemistry and the scientific process are contributing to an ever-improving understanding of chemistry.)
National Medal of Science for Physical Science Helmut Landsberg (In recognition of his outstanding contributions to the advancement of knowledge and the applications of climatology, his furtherance of academic achievement and educational programs in the field; and for the exceptional leadership he gave to the climatological sciences and services of the United States government.)
National Medal of Science for Engineering George Low (For contributions of major dimensions and lasting importance to manned spaceflight and in university-industry-government relations.)
National Medal of Science for Physical Science Walter Munk (For his unique contributions to the sciences of the geophysics and physical oceanography which have led to a better understanding of the earth's rotation, the complexities of ocean waves, tidal processes and acoustic propagation.)
National Medal of Science for Chemistry George C. Pimentel (For his varied and ingenious use of infrared spectroscopy to study chemical bonding and molecular dynamics, and for his discovery of the first chemically pumped laser, which has had strong scientific impact as well as practical applications.)
National Medal of Science for Physical Science Frederick Reines (For the experimental discovery of the free neutrino and the elucidation of its properties and interactions and the testing of fundamental conservation laws of physics.)
National Medal of Science for Biological Sciences Wendell L. Roelofs (For his fundamental contributions to basic and applied biology in the field of insect pheromones, their chemical composition and blends, their biosysnthesis, how insects perceive and respond to them, and their use in insect pest management.)
National Medal of Science for Physical Science Bruno Rossi (For fundamental contributions to physics and astronomy through his investigations into the nature and origin of cosmic rays and his initiatives that led to the direct detection of the solar wind and to the discovery of extrasolar x-ray sources.)
National Medal of Science for Biological Sciences Berta Scharrer (For her pioneering contributions to establishing the concept of neurosecretion and the demonstration of the central role of neurosecretion and neuropeptides in the integration of animal function and development.)
National Medal of Science for Physical Science John Robert Schrieffer (In recognition of his insight into cooperative effects in solids and solid surfaces dependent on interacting many-body systems and for his leadership in showing how one couples formal theoretical work with experimental findings to make significant advances in the area of condensed matter physics.)
National Medal of Science for Chemistry Richard Zare (For his seminal contributions to molecular spectroscopy, photochemistry, and chemical reaction dynamics, especially for his incisive theoretical methods and the development of the experimental technique of laser induced fluorescence.)
National Medal of Science for Engineering John G. Trump (For his introduction of new machines and methods for the widespread beneficial application of ionizing radiation to medicine, industry and atomic physics.)
