    (a) The Secretary of Defense shall ensure that the director of each

or private colleges or universities in the United States or one or more 
consortia of colleges or universities in the United States, cooperative 
work-education programs for undergraduate and graduate students.

authorized personnel or on the aggregate amount of any personnel cost--
        (1) make an offer for participation in the cooperative work-
    education program directly to a student and appoint such student to 
    an entry-level position of employment in the laboratory of such 
    director;
        (2) pay such person a rate of basic pay, not to exceed the 
    maximum rate of pay provided for grade GS-9 under the General 
    Schedule under section 5332 of title 5, that is competitive with 
    compensation levels provided for entry-level positions in similar 
    industry-sponsored cooperative work-education programs;
        (3) pay all travel expenses between the college or university in 
    which the student is enrolled and the laboratory concerned for not 
    more than six round trips per year; and
        (4) pay all or part of such fees, charges, and costs related to 
    the participation of such student in the cooperative work-education 
    program as tuition, matriculation fees, charges for library and 
    laboratory services, materials, and supplies, and the purchase or 
    rental price of books.

    (c) A director of a defense laboratory may--
        (1) require a student, as a condition for receiving payments 
    referred to in subsection (b)(4), to enter into a written agreement 
    to continue employment in such defense laboratory for a period of 
    service specified in the agreement; or
        (2) make such payments without requiring such an agreement.
