TITLE I—GENERAL PROVISIONS FINDINGS AND DECLARATION OF POLICY SEc..101. The Congress hereby finds and declares that : the security of the Nation requires the fullest development . of the mental resources and technical skills of its young men: and. women. The present emergency demands that addi-- tional and more adequate educational opportunities be made available, particularly to those students with aptitude or ability in the areas of science, mathematics, engimeering, and: modern foreign languages. The defense of this Nation de- pends upon the mastery of modern techniques developed: from complex scientific principles.. It depends as well upon: . the discovery and development of new principles, new tech- niques, and new knowledge. In order to’ maintain eminence in: all these fields, we: must increase our efforts to identify and educate more of the talent of our Nation. This requires programs that will demonstrate our country’s recognition. of and. esteem for.

The Congress reaffirms’ the principle and declares that the States and local communities have and must retain con- trol over and primary responsibility for public education. The national interest requires, however, that the Federal Government give assistance to education for certain pro- grams where present financial resources are inadequate or which are important to our defense. To meet the present educational .emergency requires -additional effort at all levels of government. ‘It is there- fore the purpose of this Act to provide substantial assistance in various forms to individuals, to States and their subdivi- sions, and to institutions of higher education in order to in- sure trained manpower of sufficient quality and quantity ‘to Approved For Release 2000/08/31 : CIA-RDP78-06365A000200060021-2 ~ Mid, Approved For Release 2000/08/31 : CIA-RDP78-06365A000200060021-2 fon) oOo om 10: 20 insure that. the United States: will exercise preeminence in scientific and technical fields. _ FEDERAL CONTROL OF EDUCATION PROHIBITED Sec. 102; Nothing contained in this Act shall be con- strued to authorize any department, agency, officer, or em- ployee of the United States to exercise any direction, super- vision, or control over the curriculum, program of instruction, administration, or personnel of any educational institution..
