1 >

S E C 103. (a) The Congress find that— (1) science and technology are keys to eradicating hunger and I poverty in developing countries; (2) the ability of the developing countries to achieve selfsustaining growth has been hindered by the lack of an indigenous scientific and technological base; (3) this scientific and technological base is vital to the emergence of developing countries as full and equal partners in the international system; (4) expanded cooperation with respect to science and technology can significantly contribute to an improved North-South relationship; and (5) the United Nations Conference on Science and Technology for Development offers a valuable forum for the analysis of problems of development that might be alleviated or solved with the aid of scientific and technical expertise. (b) I t is therefore the sense of the Congress that the United States should strongly support the purpose of the United Nations Conference on Science and Technology for Development and that the United States delegation to this conference should actively develop and offer proposals which would facilitate an expansion of mutually beneficial cooperation among developed and developing countries with respect to science and technology, including joint education and research and development programs. (c) In addition to amounts otherwise available for such purpose, $945,000 of the amount authorized to be appropriated by section 101 (a)(1) of this Act shall be available only for expenses incurred by the Department of State in connection with the United Nations Conference on Science and Technology for Development, including expenses for preparatory conferences and seminars held in the United States.
