‘‘(1) IN
GENERAL.—In any case in which a
major air carrier is competing with a new entrant
air carrier in providing air transportation on a route
between a hub airport of the major air carrier and
another airport, the Secretary shall initiate an inves-
tigation under subsection (a) to determine whether
the major air carrier has been or is engaged in an
unfair method of competition if the Secretary finds
that—
‘‘(A) the major air carrier has added seat
capacity on the route and has sold such a large
number of seats on the route at very low fares
that the ensuing self-diversion of revenue has
resulted in lower local revenue than would have
resulted from a reasonable alternative response
by the major air carrier to the competition;

entrant air carrier’s total seat capacity on the
route, resulting, through self-diversion, in lower
local revenue than would have resulted from a
reasonable alternative response by the major air
carrier to the competition; or
‘‘(C) the number of passengers that the
major air carrier has carried on the route at the
new entrant air carrier’s low fares (or at similar
fares that are substantially below the major air
carrier’s previous fares) has exceeded the num-
ber of low-fare passengers carried by the new
entrant air carrier on the route, resulting,
through self-diversion, in lower local revenue

a finding described in paragraph (1), the Secretary
is not required to initiate an investigation in accord-

that there are strong reasons to believe that the
major air carrier’s response to competition from the
new entrant air carrier does not violate subsection
(a).

definitions apply:
‘‘(1) NEW ENTRANT AIR CARRIER.—The term
‘new entrant air carrier’ means an air carrier that
has been providing air transportation according to a
published schedule for less than 10 years and pur-
sues a competitive strategy of charging low fares.

To authorize the National Science Foundation to undertake certain activities
in support of research on learning.
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
JUNE 5, 2001
Mr. SMITH of Michigan introduced the following bill; which was referred to
the Committee on Science
A BILL
To authorize the National Science Foundation to undertake
certain activities in support of research on learning.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representa-
tives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. FINDINGS.
The Congress finds that—
(1) in virtually every sector of society—health,
defense, transportation, agriculture, etc.—research
is used to guide policy choices;
(2) in education, however, research has not
been effectively utilized as a tool for informing policy
and guiding reform, with less than 0.03 percent of
the $647,800,000,000 spent on elementary and sec-
ondary education invested in research of what edu-
cational techniques actually work and on ways to im-
prove teaching;
(3) the 1997 President’s Committee of Advisors
on Science and Technology (PCAST) report entitled
‘‘The Use of Technology to Strengthen K–12 Edu-
cation in the United States’’ recommended that our
education research investment be increased to 0.5
percent and that educational hypotheses be sub-
jected to appropriately rigorous evaluation;
(4) a significant body of research and knowl-
edge on the science of learning currently exists; how-
ever, educational materials and practices are rarely
aligned to this knowledge, and new education theo-
ries are often incorporated in classrooms on the
basis of only tenuously supported data;
(5) a cultural divide between education re-
searchers and education practitioners—such as
teachers—currently exists;
(6) an expert panel convened by the National
Research Council recommended in 1999 that more
education research be focused on issues of impor-
tance to education practitioners and be conducted by
