the United States Congress, for being here. Most of us used carbon paper instead of
laser printers. And so today we're here to say thanks for what you've done; thanks
for helping improve the quality of life in this country; thanks for inspiring

Institute of Standards and Technology.
Our nation has a vital stake in the research and discovery that makes
these advances possible. I think that's a good use of taxpayers' money. And one way to do that is to expand education to high school
teachers in how to teach advanced placement. They provide incentives for their employees to go
into the classrooms of local high schools and community colleges to say to
youngsters, join us in these exciting fields.
You know, it's interesting , people generally do not pursue a career in
science or technology with the goal of fame.

The work we honor today has improved the lives of people everywhere.
You know, I was out in Albuquerque and had a good visit in Intel. I appreciate you being here. I'm kind of trying to change

PRESS RELEASE Willis and Office Depot Security Executives Are Named Information Security Executive of the Year Southeast 2005 and People's Choice Award Winners

Executive Alliance, the premier provider of
leadership -recognition forums, and Computer Associates International, Inc.

Both were selected among 27 of the Southeast's leading security pioneers at
the premier information security executive recognition event held on the
evening of March 24, 2005, at the Grand Hyatt Buckhead in Atlanta, Georgia.
"Joseph DiBenedetto was selected from among 27 nominees through a poll of
registered attendees at the Awards Gala. It
has helped to move our economy forward and it's helped to make sure that
America is the leader of innovation in our world. Dr. Kathie
Olsen, the Deputy Director of the National Science Foundation. Those
were the folks who decided that you won.)
I thank Dr.
The medals I'm about to present are the highest award a President can
bestow for astounding achievement in science and technology. The National
Medal of Science honors those whose research has enhanced our understanding of
life and the world around us. Most of us had rolodexes -- you might remember those --
(laughter) -- and on the long family trip we'd play the license plate game --
(laughter ) -- and now we're watching DVDs.
Many technologies that are in our laboratories today will bring cures and
technologies that are beyond our imagination.
We can't make sure our children have got math and science -- fine math and
science courses unless we've got teachers capable of teaching math and
science. They make a significant difference in the lives of our children. But we've also got to be great when it comes
to making sure our students have got the skills necessary to compete in the
21st century. Got a little reception back
here for the honorees and their families.M.

About Executive Alliance and ISE Awards

The Information Security Executive of the Year Southeast Awards 2005, a
property of Executive Alliance, Inc.

Based upon the success of previous ISE Award Galas, Executive Alliance, the
premier provider of leadership-recognition forums , launched the ISE Award
Program Series to recognize outstanding leadership and exemplary
achievement in the field of information security. WASHINGTON, The following is a transcript of
remarks by President Bush at the presentation of National Medals of Science
and Technology:

East Room

10:45 A. Each of our
honorees has been blessed with talent, and each has used their talent to the
fullest. They recognize
work that has helped expand the horizons of human knowledge . From Thomas Edison's light bulb, to Robert Ledley's
CAT scan machine, most of America's revolutionary inventions began with men
and women with the vision to see beyond what is, and the desire to pursue what
might be. Twenty-five years
ago, most Americans used typewriters instead of computers. These
laureates have done work that have revolutionized organ transplants and led to
development of global positioning systems and helped feed millions around the
world. (Applause.)
We can 't be the leading country in the world in science and technology
unless we educate scientists and young mathematicians. The facts are that we're doing fine with 4th grade kids in
math and science . The facts also are these, that we're falling off the face
of the charts when it comes to 8th grade math. Advanced placement programs
work. And
so by making sure more teachers can teach AP, this country will be better off
in making sure that we've got the future scientists and mathematicians living
right here in the United States of America. And there's no better way to make sure that young students are
encouraged to take math and science than to have successful scientists explain
to our students just the wonders of exploration. We've got some young scientists from Benjamin Banneker High
School with us. (Laughter.) The work of discovery is quiet and often solitary. (Applause .

"We are delighted to present the ISE Southeast Awards to Mark Burnette in
recognition of his accomplishments in information security," said Deb
Tummins, senior vice president at CA, the presenting sponsor of the award. In 2005, the ISE Award Program Series include the ISE
Southeast Awards (Atlanta, GA), ISE Midwest Awards (Chicago, IL), ISE New
England Awards (Boston, MA), ISE Tri-State Awards (New York, NY) and the
ISE National Awards (Washington, DC). It is an honor to
be in the company of so many bright and distinguished Americans. And we will then wonder how we
ever lived without them. I've talked
about an American Competitiveness Initiative that will double over the next 10
years the federal commitment to the most critical, basic research programs in
the physical sciences.
If the United States expects to remain competitive in a global economy, we
must encourage our private sector to continue to invest in leading-edge
technologies, and therefore, we ought to make the research and development tax
credit a permanent part of our tax code. And so as part of the
Competitive Initiative I'm going to work with the Congress to make sure we
extend the same standards in the No Child Left Behind Act that we apply to
reading and math. And the American people
must understand that if we don't educate our kids in math and science, the
jobs are going to go elsewhere in the years to come. Thank you all for joining us.
I hope that you are inspired by the examples of excellence and success that
you see right here in this ceremony today.

Remarks by President Bush at Presentation of National Medals of Science and Technology

The medals are our nation's
way of expressing gratitude to gifted and visionary citizens. (Laughter.
The spirit of discovery is one of our national strengths. Our greatest
resource has always been the educated , hardworking, ambitious people who call
this country their home. Most of us used
payphones instead of cell phones. These kinds of changes are the result of years of
hard work by American innovators , like those we honor here today. And so in my State of the Union I encouraged our
nation to stay on the leading edge of technology and education. We've also got to recognize it's in
the private sector where most money is spent on research and development, yet
we unwisely have allowed the research and development tax credit to expire.
And one of the sure ways to change that is to apply special money for kids who
need extra help in junior high for math and science. I
mean, we want young kids to think math and science -- math and science are
cool subjects, that it's okay to be a mathematician , that it's exciting to be
a scientist. The Competitive
Initiative recognizes we're great when it comes to research and development,
and we intend to stay that way.
I appreciate the work that today's laureates are doing to inspire young
scientists.

discovered the structure of DNA, led to the invention of the microchip.
(Applause. And we've got to change that.
Yet, all Americans benefit from your imagination and your talent and your
resolve.)

(The medals are presented.

mccarthy history

Most of all, thank you all for joining us.
Think back to how much this country has changed since the -- since we
first created the National Medal of Technology in 1980.)
Six of today 's eight science laureates have benefited from past investment
in this kind of research. If we want this country to be the most competitive
country in the world, we have got to spend money now to make sure we stay on
the leading edge of technological change.
Another part of the initiative is to encourage school districts to recruit
30,000 math and science professionals to teach in our nation 's classrooms. Congratulations on your medals, and now the military aide will read
the citations . May God continue to bless our great nation.
