  2. Overview • American Competitiveness Initiative/Agenda • Legislative Update/Status • T2 Accomplishments and DC Office Outreach

  3. Rising Above the Gathering Storm: Energizing and Employing America for a Brighter Future Recommendation Areas: 10K Teachers, 10M Minds: Increasing America’s talent pool by vastly improving K-12 science and mathematics education; Sowing the Seeds: Sustaining and strengthening the nation’s traditional commitment to long-term basic research; Best and the Brightest: Making the U.S. the most attractive setting in which to study and perform research; and Incentives for Innovation: Ensuring that the US is the premier place in the world to innovate. National Academies’ Report (ACI Foundation Report) See www.nationalacademies.gov

  4. Proposed: ~ $137.0 Billion (< inflation rate increase over FY06) Priorities: defense weapons development and space vehicle development, homeland security, physical sciences, energy American Competitiveness Initiative: Advanced Energy Initiative: FY 2007 R&D Budget

  5. Doubles, over 10 years, federal investment in physical science and engineering (NSF, DOC/NIST, DOE/Science); Modernizes the R&E tax credit by making it permanent; Strengthens K-12 math and science education; Reforms the workforce training system; Increases our ability to attract/retain workers through comprehensive immigration reform.
