These kinds of changes are the result
of years of
hard work by American innovators, like those we honor here today. And we've got to change
that.
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. 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. (Applause. (NYSE: LF), a leading developer

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.
Think back to how much this country
has changed since the -- since we
first created the National Medal of Technology in 1980. 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. 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. The facts are that we're doing fine
with 4th grade kids in
math and science.
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. Thank you.

Many technologies that are in our laboratories today will bring cures and
technologies that are beyond our imagination. But we've also got to be great when it comes

Yet, all Americans benefit from your imagination and your talent and your
resolve.probability mathematicians
Twenty-five
years
ago, most Americans used typewriters instead of computers.
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. Advanced placement programs
work. 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. The LeapFrog presentation at the

THE PRESIDENT: Thanks and welcome
to the White House. It is an honor to
be in the company of so many bright and distinguished Americans
.
The medals I'm about to present are the highest award a President can
bestow for astounding
achievement in science and technology. 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. And we will then wonder how we
ever lived
without them. I'm proud to have you here in the
White House. (Mountain time). In addition, the company
has created more than 35 stand-alone
educational products for ages six months to 16 years.legacy 1903
The medals
are our nation's
way of expressing gratitude to gifted and visionary citizens. And the National
Medal of Technology recognizes
innovators whose work keeps America on the cutting edge with discoveries
that
change the way we live. And the exciting jobs of the
21st century are going to be in math
and science. 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.
You know, it's interesting
, people generally do not pursue a career in
science or technology with the goal of fame.1987 snell
