          Part B--Business and International Education Programs
 
Sec. 1130. Findings and purposes


(a) Findings

    The Congress finds that--
        (1) the future economic welfare of the United States will depend 
    substantially on increasing international skills in the business and 
    educational community and creating an awareness among the American 
    public of the internationalization of our economy;
        (2) concerted efforts are necessary to engage business schools, 
    language and area study programs, professional international affairs 
    education programs, public and private sector organizations, and 
    United States business in a mutually productive relationship which 
    benefits the Nation's future economic interests;
        (3) few linkages presently exist between the manpower and 
    information needs of United States business and the international 
    education, language training and research capacities of institutions 
    of higher education in the United States, and public and private 
    organizations; and
        (4) organizations such as world trade councils, world trade 
    clubs, chambers of commerce and State departments of commerce are 
    not adequately used to link universities and business for joint 
    venture exploration and program development.

(b) Purposes

    It is the purpose of this part--
        (1) to enhance the broad objective of this chapter by increasing 
    and promoting the Nation's capacity for international understanding 
    and economic enterprise through the provision of suitable 
    international education and training for business personnel in 
    various stages of professional development; and
        (2) to promote institutional and noninstitutional educational 
    and training activities that will contribute to the ability of 
    United States business to prosper in an international economy.
