(a) FINDINGS- The Congress finds that--
(1) America's competitive position in the global economy is eroding, and it
is paramount that the competitive position of the United States be restored;
(2) advances in science and technology depend, in large part, on the quantity
and quality of the Nation's mathematicians, scientists, and engineers;
(3) international comparisons show American students are consistently
behind their foreign counterparts in mathematics and science achievement;
(4) currently 60,000 teachers in the fields of mathematics, science and
engineering are not fully qualified to teach in such fields, and by the
year 2000 the Nation must produce an additional 300,000 mathematics,
science and engineering teachers;
(5) projections by the National Science Foundation estimate a shortage of
675,000 scientists and engineers by the year 2000; and
(6) women and minorities are significantly underrepresented in the fields
of mathematics, science and engineering, and this is unacceptable if all
citizens are to have equal opportunity to pursue careers of their choosing.
(b) NATIONAL OBJECTIVES- The Congress, as a consequence of the findings
described in subsection (a), declares that it shall be a national objective
to--
(1) encourage American students to pursue careers in mathematics, science
and engineering;
(2) improve the quality of teaching in mathematics and science made
available to all Americans;
(3) have American students rank first in the world in mathematics and
science;
(4) substantially increase the number of graduates with degrees in
mathematics, science and engineering; and
(5) substantially increase the number of women and minorities pursuing
careers in mathematics, science and engineering.

(a) POLICY- The Congress declares that it shall be the policy of the United
States to--
(1) improve the academic performance of all elementary and secondary school
students in mathematics and science;
(2) recognize the special value to the Nation of, and meet the
special requirements for, educating and training sufficient numbers of
mathematicians, scientists and engineers; and
(3) devote the necessary resources to stimulate and foster the education,
training, and substantially increased participation of women and minorities
in mathematics, science and engineering.
(b) PRINCIPLES- The Congress further declares that the policies described
in subsection (a) shall be implemented in accordance with the following
principles:
(1) The strength of the American educational system stems from the system's
grounding in local communities, the diversity of educational approaches
employed by State governments, the voluntary participation of the private
sector, and informal education through public television, museums, and
other community programs.
(2) In order for the Federal Government to carry out its role more
effectively, the Federal Government should improve the exchange of
information and coordination among the National Science Foundation, the
Departments of Education, Energy, and Defense, the National Aeronautics
and Space Administration, and other Federal agencies that have mathematics,
science and technology education programs.
(3) It shall be a priority of the Congress to adequately fund existing
programs in mathematics and science education in the Department of Education,
the National Science Foundation, and other Federal departments and agencies.

(a) DECADE DESIGNATION- The Congress declares that the period from January
1, 1990 through December 31, 1999, shall be designated as the `Decade of
Excellence in American Mathematics, Science and Engineering Education'.
(b) NATIONAL GOAL- The Congress declares that it shall be a paramount
national goal of the United States to achieve the objectives set forth in
section 101(b) by the beginning of the year 2000.
(c) ASSESSMENT AND ACHIEVEMENT- In order to assess progress toward, and
achievement of, the goal set forth in subsection (b) of this section,
the National Science Foundation, the Department of Education, and the
Science Adviser to the President, shall--
(1) set forth the objectives described in section 101(b) in sufficient
detail so that such objectives provide for--
(A) acceptable standards of public literacy in mathematics, science and
technology,
(B) increased student interest and academic performance in mathematics
and science,
(C) the professional development of sufficient numbers of mathematicians,
scientists, and engineers,
(D) the attraction and retention of sufficient numbers of fully qualified
teachers in the fields of mathematics, science and engineering, and
(E) greater participation of women and minorities in the fields of
mathematics, science and engineering;
(2) develop and disseminate appropriate criteria and guidelines to assess
the extent of the Nation's achievement of such objectives;
(3) collect relevant statistics and other necessary data throughout the
decade described in section 103(a), and analyze such information to assess
progress toward the goal set forth in subsection (b);
(4) sponsor an international survey in 1999, to determine whether American
students have improved their academic performance and surpassed their
counterparts in other nations in knowledge and understanding of mathematics,
science and engineering; and
(5) provide a final report to the President and the Congress which provides
a comprehensive assessment of the extent to which such national goal has
been achieved by the year 2000.
