                               RESOLUTION


 
 Celebrating the 30th anniversary of the Albert Einstein Distinguished 
      Educator Fellowship Program and recognizing the significant 
               contributions of Albert Einstein Fellows.

Whereas the Albert Einstein Distinguished Educator Fellowship Program was 
        established in 1990, and formalized by law in 1994;
Whereas Einstein Fellows are selected through a highly competitive process from 
        among the best science, technology, engineering, and mathematics 
        teachers in the field, and represent diverse geographic regions and 
        communities;
Whereas the Albert Einstein Distinguished Educator Fellowship Program places 
        these exceptional teachers in positions within Federal agencies and on 
        Capitol Hill where they contribute to advancing the fields of education, 
        science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and public policy;
Whereas the Department of Energy, through its Office of Workforce Development 
        for Teachers and Scientists and the Oak Ridge Institute for Science and 
        Education, has nurtured and grown the Albert Einstein Distinguished 
        Educator Fellowship Program;
Whereas over 337 Einstein Fellows have served professionally at the Department 
        of Energy, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, the 
        National Institutes of Health, the National Institute of Standards and 
        Technology, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the 
        National Science Foundation, the President's Office of Science and 
        Technology Policy, the Department of Education, the Department of 
        Defense, the United States Geological Survey, the Smithsonian National 
        Museums, the Senate, and the House of Representatives;
Whereas the Albert Einstein Distinguished Educator Fellowship Program fosters a 
        spirit of cooperation between Federal agencies by placing a network of 
        fellows at these different agencies and continues to add Federal 
        agencies;
Whereas Einstein Fellows provide practical perspectives on the application and 
        impact of education policy;
Whereas Einstein Fellows have made invaluable contributions to the formulation 
        of educational policy with their advice to Members of Congress and 
        officials in Federal agencies, by developing legislation, and by 
        creating innovative educational programs and interventions;
Whereas Einstein Fellows have experienced unique opportunities for professional 
        growth and development, expanding their skills and knowledge;
Whereas Einstein Fellows learn valuable leadership skills to advance the fields 
        of education, science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and public 
        policy; and
Whereas the contributions of the Einstein Fellows during their service and later 
        upon the continuation of their professional careers serve as role models 
        and examples of dedication and commitment for past, current, and future 
        generations of educators and public servants: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
            (1) recognizes the significance of the 30th anniversary of 
        the Albert Einstein Distinguished Educator Fellowship Program;
            (2) recognizes the value of having current science, 
        technology, engineering, and mathematics teachers directly 
        engaged in the policymaking process;
            (3) recognizes the sacrifices made by teachers who 
        interrupt their careers to serve as Einstein Fellows;
            (4) supports continuation of the Albert Einstein 
        Distinguished Educator Fellowship Program;
            (5) encourages Federal agencies and congressional offices 
        to host Einstein Fellows, and to leverage the expertise of 
        former Einstein Fellows; and
            (6) recognizes the contributions of Einstein Fellows, past, 
        present, and future.
