(Pub. L. 99–93, title VI, § 601, Aug. 16, 1985, 99 Stat. 439.) § 4702. Congressional findings and declaration of policy The Congress finds and declares that— (1) it is in the national interest for the United States Government to provide a stable source of financial support to give students in developing countries the opportunity to study in the United States, in order to improve the range and quality of educational alternatives, increase mutual understanding, and build last- ing links between those countries and the United States; (2) providing scholarships to foreign stu- dents to study in the United States has proven over time to be an effective means of creating strong bonds between the United States and the future leadership of developing countries and, at the same time, assists countries sub- stantially in their development efforts; (3) study in United States institutions by foreign students enhances trade and economic relationships by providing strong English lan- guage skills and establishing professional and business contacts; (4) students from families of limited finan- cial means have, in the past, largely not had the opportunity to study in the United States, and scholarship programs sponsored by the United States have made no provision for identifying, preparing, or supporting such stu- dents for study in the United States;
