        and to narrow the focus of their graduate programs; and
            (2) National Science Foundation funds for Research and 
        Related Activities should be spent in the manner most likely to 
        improve the quality of undergraduate and graduate education in 
        institutions of higher education.
    (b) Educational Impact.--(1) The impact that a grant or cooperative 
agreement by the National Science Foundation would have on 
undergraduate and graduate education at an institution of higher 
education shall be a factor in any decision whether to award such grant 
or agreement to that institution.
    (2) Paragraph (1) shall be effective with respect to any grant or 
cooperative agreement awarded after September 30, 1996.
    (c) Report.--The Director shall provide a plan for the 
implementation of subsection (b) of this section, no later than 
December 31, 1995, to the Committee on Science of the House of

1950 (42 U.S.C. 1866) is amended by inserting ``The Director may 
appoint, in consultation with the Board, not more than 6 Assistant 
Directors to assist in managing the Divisions.'' after ``time to time 
determine.''.
    (b) Report.--By November 15, 1995, the Director shall transmit to 
the Congress a report on the reorganization of the National Science 
Foundation required as a result of the amendment made by subsection 
(a).
SEC. 213. LIMITATION ON APPROPRIATIONS.

    (a) Exclusive Authorization for Fiscal Year 1996.--Notwithstanding 
any other provision of law, no sums are authorized to be appropriated 
for fiscal year 1996 for the activities of the National Science 
Foundation unless such sums are specifically authorized to be 
appropriated by this Act.
    (b) Subsequent Fiscal Years.--No sums are authorized to be 
appropriated for any fiscal year after fiscal year 1996 for the 
activities of the National Science Foundation unless such sums are 
specifically authorized to be appropriated by Act of Congress with

    (a) In General.--The Director shall exclude from consideration for 
awards of financial assistance made by the National Science Foundation 
after fiscal year 1995 any person who received funds, other than those
