TITLE IV—TECHNOLOGY INVEST-
MENT 
POLICY 
FOR 
AERO-
NAUTICS AND SPACE
SEC. 401. FINDINGS.
The Congress finds that—
(1) the United States aerospace industry has
provided a major contribution to the competitiveness
of the United States;
(2) the international market share of the United
States aerospace industry has steadily eroded due to
102
competition from foreign consortia that receive sub-
stantial direct subsidies from their governments;
(3) the United States aerospace industry has
been severely impacted by the reductions in defense
spending, leading to reduced levels of research and de-
velopment investment by industry;
(4) increased contribution to the health of the
United States economy by the National Aeronautics
and Space Administration is important to the long-
term support of civilian aeronautics and space activi-
ties; and
(5) no effective means have been developed by
which the National Aeronautics and Space Adminis-
tration can accurately measure the contribution of its
research toward achieving United States competitive-
ness and maintaining technological leadership.
SEC. 402. AERONAUTICS AND SPACE POLICY OF THE NA-
TIONAL AERONAUTICS AND SPACE ADMINIS-
TRATION.
It is the policy of the United States that—
(1) improving the competitive capability of the
United States industry shall be a fundamental goal of
the aeronautical and space research and development
programs of the National Aeronautics and Space Ad-
ministration;
103
(2) the investment in aeronautics and space tech-
nology by the National Aeronautics and Space Ad-
ministration shall be closely coordinated with United
States industry; and
(3) 
the 
establishment 
of 
industry-led,
precompetitive consortia, alliances, or other entities
shall be encouraged to better identify and coordinate
the industry requirements for advanced technologies
and facilities.
