                 TITLE __--EDUCATION TO SECURE TOMORROW

     SEC. __. SHORT TITLE.

       This title may be cited as the ``Trust in Education to
     Secure Tomorrow (TEST) for America's Future''.

     SEC. __. DECLARATION OF PURPOSE AND POLICY; FINDINGS.

       (a) Declaration of Purpose and Policy.--Congress declares
     the following:
       (1) The security of the Nation requires the fullest
     development of the mental resources and technical skills of
     its young men and women. The present national security
     emergency demands that additional and more adequate
     educational opportunities be made available. The defense of
     this Nation depends upon the mastery of modern techniques
     developed from complex scientific principles. It depends as
     well upon the discovery and development of new principles,
     new techniques, and new knowledge.
       (2) We must increase our efforts to identify and educate
     more of the talent of our Nation. This requires programs that
     will correct as rapidly as possible the existing imbalances
     in our educational system and will give assurance that no
     student of ability will be denied an opportunity for higher
     education because of financial need.
       (3) Congress reaffirms the principle and declares that the
     States and local communities have and must retain control
     over and primary responsibility for public education. The
     national interest requires, however, that the Federal
     Government give assistance to education for programs which
     are important to our defense.
       (4) To meet the present emergency requires additional
     effort at all levels of government. It is therefore the
     purpose of this division to provide substantial assistance in
     various forms to individuals, and to States and their
     subdivisions, in order to insure trained manpower of
     sufficient quality and quantity to meet the national defense
     needs of the United States.
       (b) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
       (1) In fiscal year 2002, the No Child Left Behind Act of
     2001 (Public Law 107-110) was funded at $22,195,000,000. The
     Budget of the United States Government for Fiscal Year 2003,
     as submitted to Congress, proposes to fund the No Child Left
     Behind Act of 2001 (Public Law 107-110) at $22,105,000,000.
       (2) The size of the maximum Federal Pell Grant is
     authorized to be $5,800, but because of insufficient funding,
     in fiscal year 2002, the maximum Federal Pell Grant was only
     $4,000.
       (3) State budget deficits are having a pronounced effect on
     State education funding and public college and university
     tuition.
       (4) In fiscal year 1946, the share of the Federal budget
     dedicated to education was 10.4 percent. In fiscal year 2002,
     the share of the Federal budget dedicated to education was
     2.5 percent. On March 23, 1994, the United States Senate
     unanimously resolved to increase to 10 percent by 2004 the
     share of the Federal budget dedicated to education.

     SEC. __. MEET THE PROMISE OF THE NO CHILD LEFT BEHIND ACT.

       In addition to any amounts otherwise appropriated under
     this Act for part A of title I of the Elementary and
     Secondary Education Act of 1965, the following sums are

     appropriated for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2003,
     for an additional amount for ``Student Financial Assistance''
     for carrying out subpart 1 of part A of title IV of the
     Higher Education Act of 1965, $1,350,000,000 to remain
     available through September 30, 2004.
       (b) Maximum Pell Grant.--Notwithstanding any other
     provision of this Act, the maximum Pell Grant for which a
     student shall be eligible during award year 2003-2004 shall
     be $4,500.

     SEC. __. RESTORATION OF FUNDING FOR EDUCATION.

       Section 601 of Division N shall not apply with respect to
     programs funded under title III of Division G.
