The funds so made available may be expended to acquire, construct, convert, rehabilitate, or install permanent or temporary public works, including land acquisition, site preparation, appurtenances, utilities, and equipment. No portion of such sums may be obligated for expenditure or expended to construct, expand, or modify laboratories and other installations unless a period of thirty days has passed after the Administrator or the Administrator's designee has transmitted to the Speaker of the House of Representatives and to the President of the Senate and to the Committee on Science and Technology of the House of Representatives and to the Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation of the Senate a written report containing a full and complete statement concerning (A) the nature of such construction, expansion, or modification, (B) the cost thereof including the cost of any real estate action pertaining thereto, and (C) the reason why such construction, expansion, or modification is necessary in the national interest.

SEC. 105. It is the sense of the Congress that it is in the national interest that consideration be given to geographical distribution of Federal research funds whenever feasible, and that the National Aeronautics and Space Administration should explore ways and means of distributing its research and development funds whenever feasible. SEC. 106. The authorization for shuttle production and operational capability includes provisions for the production of structural spares and the critical skills necessary for installation of electrical, mechanical, and fluid systems thereby maintaining production readiness for a fifth orbiter vehicle.

Pinocchio remained with his mouth open, and not choosing to believe the Parrot's words he began with his hands and nails to dig up the earth that he had watered. And he dug, and dug, and dug, and made such a deep hole that a rick of straw might have stood upright in it: but the money was no longer there.

He rushed back to the town in a state of desperation, and went at once to the Courts of Justice to denounce the two knaves who had robbed him to the judge.

The judge was a big ape of the gorilla tribe—an old ape respectable for his age, his white beard, but especially for his gold spectacles without glasses that he was always obliged to wear, on account of an inflammation of the eyes that had tormented him for many years.

Pinocchio related in the presence of the judge all the particulars of the infamous fraud of which he had been the victim. He gave the names, the surnames, and other details, of the two rascals, and ended by demanding justice.

The judge listened with great benignity; took a lively interest in the story; was much touched and moved; and when the

PUBLIC LAW 98-361—JULY 16, 1984 SEC. 108. (a) The Administrator of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration is directed to continue and to enhance such Administration's programs of remote-sensing research and development. (b) The Administrator is authorized and encouraged to— (1) conduct experimental space remote-sensing prog^rams (including applications demonstration programs and basic research at universities); (2) develop remote-sensing technologies and techniques, including those needed for monitoring the Earth and its environment; and (3) conduct such research and development in cooperation with other public and private research entities, including private industry, universities, Federal, State, and local government agencies, foreign governments, and international organizations, and to enter into arrangements (including joint ventures) which will foster such cooperation. SEC. 109. It is the intent of the Congress that expenditures made from sums appropriated pursuant to the authorization contained in subsection (a)(S) of section 101 of this Act for activities in the advanced turboprop program should be recouped by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration if and when commercially successful products are developed by the aircraft industry as a direct result of such activities. For this purpose the Administrator shall submit to Congress within sixty days of enactment of this Act a plan for the payment to the Administrator of royalties by firms in the aircraft industry with respect to any such products which may be so developed by them. SEC. 110. (a) Section 102 of the National Aeronautics and Space Act of 1958, as amended, is amended— (1) by striking out "(e) and (f)" in subsection (g) and inserting in lieu thereof "(e), (f), and (g)"; (2) by redesignating subsections (c) through (g) as subsections (d) through (h); and (3) by inserting after subsection (b) the following new subsection: "(c) The Congress declares that the general welfare of the United States requires that the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (as established by title II of this Act) seek and encourage, to the maximum extent possible, the fullest commercial use of space.". (b) Section 102(d)(1) of the National Aeronautics and Space Act of 1958, as amended (and as redesignated by subsection (a) of this section), is amended by inserting "of the Earth and" after "knowledge". SEC. 111. (a) Any Federal personal property may be disposed of in accordance with subsection (b) if such property— (1) is scientific research or development equipment and is not personal property that may be used for general administrative purposes; (2) has been loaned by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration to any academic institution or nonprofit organization; and (3) as of March 31, 1984, has been on loan to any such institution or organization for at least two years. (b) The Administrator may transfer title to property described in subsection (a) to an academic institution or nonprofit organization if the Administrator certifies that—

(1) such property is being used by the institution or organization holding such property for a purpose consistent with the use intended when the property was loaned; and (2) the Administration will no longer need such property. TITLE II—NATIONAL COMMISSION ON SPACE PURPOSE

r

SEC. 201. It is the purpose of this title to establish a National 42 USC 2451 Commission on Space that will assist the United States— ^°^(1) to define the long-range needs of the Nation that may be fulfilled through the peaceful uses of outer space; (2) to maintain the Nation's preeminence in space science, technology, and applications; (3) to promote the peaceful exploration and utilization of the space environment; and i (4) to articulate goals and develop options for the future , direction of the Nation's civilian space program. f

FINDINGS

SEC. 202. The Congress finds and declares that— (1) the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, the lead civilian space agency, as established in the National Aeronautics and Space Act of 1958, as amended, has conducted a space program that has been an unparalleled success, providing significant economic, social, scientific, and national security benefits, and helping to maintain international stability and good will; (2) the National Aeronautics and Space Act of 1958, as amended (42 U.S.C. 2451 et seq.), has provided the policy framework for achieving this success, and continues to be a sound statutory basis for national efforts in space; (3) the United States is entering a new era of international competition and cooperation in space, and therefore this Nation must strengthen the commitment of its public and private technical, financial, and institutional resources, so that the United States will not lose its leadership position during this decade; (4) while there continues to be a crucial Government role in space science, advanced research and development, provision of public goods and services and coordination of national and international efforts, advances in applications of space technology have raised many issues regarding public and private sector roles and relationships in technology development, applications, and marketing; (5) the private sector will continue to evolve as a major participant in the utilization of the space environment; (6) the Nation is committed to a permanently manned space station in low Earth orbit, and future national efforts in space will benefit from the presence of such a station; (7) the separation of the civilian and military space programs is essential to ensure the continued health and vitality of both; and (8) the identification of long range goals and policy options for the United States civilian space program through a high level.
