Sec. 2953. Global Change Research Information Office

    Not more than 180 days after November 16, 1990, the President shall, 
in consultation with the Committee and all relevant Federal agencies, 
establish an Office of Global Change Research Information. The purpose 
of the Office shall be to disseminate to foreign governments, 
businesses, and institutions, as well as the citizens of foreign 
countries, scientific research information available in the United 
States which would be useful in preventing, mitigating, or adapting to 
the effects of global change. Such information shall include, but need 
not be limited to, results of scientific research and development on 
technologies useful for--
        (1) reducing energy consumption through conservation and energy 
    efficiency;
        (2) promoting the use of solar and renewable energy sources 
    which reduce the amount of greenhouse gases released into the 
    atmosphere;
        (3) developing replacements for chlorofluorocarbons, halons, and 
    other ozone-depleting substances which exhibit a significantly 
    reduced potential for depleting stratospheric ozone;
        (4) promoting the conservation of forest resources which help 
    reduce the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere;
        (5) assisting developing countries in ecological pest management 
    practices and in the proper use of agricultural, and industrial 
    chemicals; and
        (6) promoting recycling and source reduction of pollutants in 
    order to reduce the volume of waste which must be disposed of, thus 
    decreasing energy use and greenhouse gas emissions.
