SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Albert Einstein Distinguished 
Educator Fellowship Act of 1994''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    The Congress finds that--
            (1) the Department of Energy has unique and extensive 
        mathematics and science capabilities that contribute to 
        mathematics and science education programs throughout the 
        Nation;
            (2) a need exists to increase understanding, communication, 
        and cooperation between the Congress, the Department of Energy, 
        other Federal agencies, and the mathematics and science 
        education community;
            (3) elementary and secondary school mathematics and science 
        teachers can provide practical insight to the Legislative and 
        Executive branches in establishing and operating education 
        programs; and
            (4) a pilot program that placed elementary and secondary 
        school mathematics and science teachers in professional staff 
        positions in the Senate and the House of Representatives has 
        proven successful and demonstrated the value of expanding the 
        program.

SEC. 3. PURPOSE; DESIGNATION.

    (a) Purpose.--The purpose of this Act is to establish within the 
Department of Energy a national fellowship program for elementary and 
secondary school mathematics and science teachers.
    (b) Designation.--A recipient of a fellowship under this Act shall 
be known as an ``Albert Einstein Fellow''.

SEC. 4. DEFINITIONS.

    As used in this Act--
            (1) the term ``elementary school'' has the meaning provided 
        by section 1471(8) of the Elementary and Secondary Education 
        Act of 1965;
            (2) the term ``local educational agency'' has the meaning 
        provided by section 1471(12) of the Elementary and Secondary 
        Education of 1965;
            (3) the term ``secondary school'' has the meaning provided 
        in section 1471(21) of the Elementary and Secondary Education 
        Act of 1965; and
            (4) the term ``Secretary'' means the Secretary of Energy.

SEC. 5. FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM AUTHORIZED.

    (a) General.--(1) Establishment.--The Secretary shall establish the 
Albert Einstein Distinguished Educator Fellowship Program (hereafter 
known as the Program) to provide 12 elementary or secondary school 
mathematics or science teachers with fellowships in each fiscal year in 
accordance with this Act.
    (2) Order of Priority.--The Secretary may reduce the number of 
fellowships awarded under this Act for any fiscal year in which the 
amount appropriated for the Program is insufficient to support 12 
fellowships. If the number of fellowships awarded under this Act is 
reduced for any fiscal year, then the Secretary shall award fellowships 
based on the following order of priority:
            (A) Three fellowships in the Department of Energy.
            (B) Two fellowships in the Senate.
            (C) Two fellowships in the House of Representatives.
            (D) One fellowship in each of the following:
                    (i) The Department of Education.
                    (ii) The National Institutes of Health.
                    (iii) The National Science Foundation.
                    (iv) The National Aeronautics and Space 
                Administration.
                    (v) The Office of Science and Technology Policy.
    (3) Terms of Fellowships.--Each fellowship awarded under this Act 
shall be awarded for a period of ten months that, to the extent 
possible, coincides with the academic year.
    (4) Qualification of Fellowship Recipients.--The Secretary shall 
award a fellowship only to an elementary or secondary school 
mathematics or science teacher who would bring unique and valuable 
contributions to the Program and who is recognized for excellence in 
mathematics or science education. Each teacher must demonstrate either 
that a sabbatical leave from teaching will be granted in order to 
participate in the Program or that the teacher will return to a 
teaching position comparable to the position held prior to 
participating in the Program.
    (b) Program Administration Requirements.--The Secretary shall--
            (1) provide for the development and administration of an 
        application and selection process for fellowships under the 
        Program including a process whereby final selections of 
        fellowship recipients are made in accordance with subsection 
        (c);
            (2) provide for the publication of information on the 
        Program in appropriate professional publications including an 
        invitation for applications from teachers listed in the 
        directories of national and State recognition programs;
            (3) select from the pool of applicants 12 elementary and 
        secondary school mathematics teachers and 12 elementary and 
        secondary school science teachers;
            (4) develop a program of orientation for fellowship 
        recipients under this Act; and
            (5) provide an annual report and evaluation of the Program 
        to be submitted to the appropriate Committees of the Senate and 
        the House of Representatives by August 31 of each year in which 
        fellowships are awarded.
    (c) Selection.--
            (1) General.--The Secretary shall arrange for the 24 
        semifinalists to travel to Washington, District of Columbia, to 
        participate in interviews in accordance with the selection
