                      TITLE 15--COMMERCE AND TRADE
 
                  CHAPTER 37--STATE TECHNICAL SERVICES
 
Sec. 1351. Declaration of purpose

    Congress finds that wider diffusion and more effective application 
of science and technology in business, commerce, and industry are 
essential to the growth of the economy, to higher levels of employment, 
and to the competitive position of United States products in world 
markets. The Congress also finds that the benefits of federally financed 
research, as well as other research, must be placed more effectively in 
the hands of American business, commerce, and industrial establishments. 
The Congress further finds that the several States through cooperation 
with universities, communities, and industries can contribute 
significantly to these purposes by providing technical services designed 
to encourage a more effective application of science and technology to 
both new and established business, commerce, and industrial 
establishments. The Congress, therefore, declares that the purpose of 
this chapter is to provide a national program of incentives and support 
for the several States individually and in cooperation with each other 
in their establishing and maintaining State and interstate technical 
service programs designed to achieve these ends.
