附： 关于制定《推进农村技术承包若干问题的试行规定》的说明
党的十一届三中会会以来，我市农村经济迅速发展，科学技术作为生产力发挥了重大作用，因此，放活科技人员成为振兴我市农村经济的关键所在，目前当务之急是放宽科技人员政策，充分调科技人员的积极性，发展他们的聪明才智，把科学技术进一步引向农村，引向乡镇企业，使我市农村经济再上一个新台阶。
放活科研单位，放活科技人员，发动广大科技人员下乡搞技术承包，河北省在这方面取得了宝贵经验，根据市政府领导意见，我市先后三次组织县区和市直有关局以及科研单位前去学习，回来后，大家认为我市应进一步放活科技人员政策，鼓励科技人员到农村搞技术承包。为此，我科起草了这份《推进农村技术承包若干问题的试行规定》，先后拿到县区和市农村科技工作指导小组会议上进行征求意见，之后做为农村科技工作会议材料，供代表们讨论。
这一规定，是突出了科技人员可以在职到农村进行技术承包；二是在收益分配上，要把承包收入的大头留给承包的科技人员；三是各单位对在职下乡搞技术承包的科技人员，要实行双向考核，既要考核其承包效益，又要考核其本职工作完成情况；四是对在贫困乡、村工作的科技人员，在评聘技术职称时，要以工作成绩，技术水平为主，可不受学历、资历和外语程度的限制。
