UNITED NATIONS CONFERENCE ON SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY FOR
DEVELOPMENT

Sec. 103. (a) The Congress find that

(1) science and technology are keys to eradicating hunger and poverty in developing countries;

(2) the ability of the developing countries to achieve self-sustaining growth has been hindered by the lack of an indigenous scientific and technological base;

(3) this scientific and technological base is vital to the emergence of developing countries as full and equal partners in the international system;

(4) expanded cooperation with respect to science and technology and can significantly contribute to an improved NorthSouth relationship; and

(5) the United Nations Conference on Science and Technology for Development offers a valuable forum for the analysis of problems of development that might be alleviated or solved with the aid of scientific and technical expertise.

(b) It is therefore the sense of the Congress that the United States should strongly support the purpose of the United Nations Conference on Science and Technology for Development and that the United States delegation to this conference should actively develop and offer proposals which would facilitate an expansion of mutually beneficial cooperation among developed and developing countries with respect to science and technology, including joint education and research and development programs.

(c) In addition to amounts otherwise available for such purpose, $945,000 of the amount authorized to be appropriated by section 101(a)(1) of this Act shall be available only for expenses incurred by the Department of State in connection with the United Nations Conference on Science and Technology for Development, including expenses for preparatory conferences and seminars held in the United States.

FOREIGN MISSION SOLAR ENERGY DEMONSTRATION

Sec. 105.1 (a) It is the purpose of this section to provide for the demonstration of solar energy and other renewable energy technologies in foreign countries through the use of such energy in buildings acquired under subsection (a) of the first section of the Foreign Service Buildings Act, 1926 (22 U.S.C. 292(a)),2 in order that

(1) countries in which such buildings are located may be given visible incentives to develop and use local solar energy or other renewable energy resources to reduce dependence upon petroleum and petroleum products;

(2) markets may be developed for American solar energy systems and components in order to stimulate investment in such systems and components and to reduce the costs of such systems and components to reasonable levels;

(3) in furtherance of the purpose of section 119 of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 (22 U.S.C. 2151q),3 cooperation may be developed between the United States and other countries in an effort to develop solar energy or other renewable energy systems within a short period of time; and

(4) equipment which is vital to the operation of sensitive systems within United States missions abroad may be made more reliable and less dependent upon interruptible local energy supplies.

(b)(1) The Secretary of State shall implement projects for the application of solar energy or other forms of renewable energy in buildings acquired under subsection (a) of the first section of the Foreign Service Buildings Act, 1926.

[blocks in formation]

(2) The Secretary of State shall select projects under paragraph (1) in consultation with the Secretary of Energy. Such projects shall apply available solar energy and other renewable energy technologies, including those for

(A) the heating and cooling of buildings;

(B) solar thermal electric systems;
(C) solar photovoltaic conversion systems;
(D) wind energy systems; and

(E) systems for developing fuels from biomass.

The Secretary of Energy shall inform the Secretary of State of all such technologies which are feasible for such projects, taking into account the resources and environmental conditions of the countries in which such projects are to be implemented. Upon the request of the Secretary of State, the Secretary of Energy shall provide to the Secretary of State any technical information or other technical assistance which the Secretary of State considers necessary with respect to any such project. Any project selected under this section should be similar to projects which have been demonstrated by the Department of Energy (or any of its predecessor agencies) to be reliable, maintainable, and technically feasible.

(3) Any project selected under this section shall be adaptable to the local resources, climatic conditions, and economic circumstances of the country in which such project is implemented in order that such country will be more likely to implement similar projects.

(4) The Secretary of State shall insure that any project selected under this section is demonstrated to, and available for inspection by, officials and other citizens of the country in which such project is implemented.

(5) In selecting projects under this section, the Secretary of State shall give the priority to projects to be implemented in developing

countries.
