A BILL To amend title IX of the National Defense Education Act of 1958 to provide for establishment of A National Science Research Data Processing and Information Retrieval System

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That (a) the first sentence of section 901 of the National Defense Education Act of 1958 is amended by striking out "a Science Information Service" and inserting in lieu thereof the following: “, A National Science Research Data Proccessing and Information Retrieval System. "In order to avoid unnecessary and costly duplication in scientific research and to assure quick access to, and a constant inventory of, all science research data, such a nationwide system shall include close voluntary cooperation with, and utilization of, on a contract basis wherever practicable, all existing science research data processing and information retrieval facilities in the United States and its possessions including Government agencies, private and public universities, private and public laboratories and libraries, abstracting societies, professional organizations dealing with specific scientific disciplines and any other facilities dealing with dissemination of scientific research information.

"The purpose of this Act is to implement, not substitute, existing information retrieval facilities. Therefore, it is specifically prohibited under this Act for the National System to establish any Government-owned or operated science research data processing or information retrieval facility where such a facility already exists under either private or public ownership. The National System shall use every voluntary means to arrange for an orderly cataloging, digesting, and translating, with the aid of electronic devices, if necessary, of all scientific research data produced in the United States or available in the United States from other nations and through the national science research data processing and information retrieval system, make such information readily available to any scientist or researcher, either privately, publicly, or self-employed, through an appropriate communications network. The national system shall arrange for appropriate financial payment for all science data provided into the national system by private source."
