national interests in the conduct of foreign relations, and for

the prudent management of our domestic affairs;

(2) the development and maintenance of knowledge about the

countries of Eastern Europe and the independent states of the

former Soviet Union depends upon the national capability for

advanced research by highly trained and experienced specialists,

available for service in and out of Government;

(3) certain essential functions are necessary to ensure the

existence of that knowledge and the capability to sustain it,

including -

(A) graduate training;

(B) advanced research;

(C) public dissemination of research data, methods, and

findings;

(D) contact and collaboration among Government and private

specialists; and

(E) firsthand experience of the countries of Eastern Europe

and the independent states of the former Soviet Union by

American specialists, including on site conduct of advanced

training and research to the extent practicable; and

Government to provide a stable source of financial support for

the functions described in this section and to supplement the

financial support for those functions which is currently being

furnished by Federal, State, local, regional, and private
