“I will not belabor all of the good points that I could make about the NSF, but I do want to say something about a very small line item which is in the bill that has not been in there before, and that is a provision providing for authorization of about a million dollars for international science cooperation through the funding of the United States-Mexico Foundation for Science.

Since this foundation was established in 1992, the United States-Mexico Foundation has established a proven track record of supporting high quality international research.”
