     SEC.___. PLAN ON HYPERSONIC RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT.

       The Committee remains concerned that more attention needs 
     to be focused on the advancement of fundamental hypersonic 
     science and technology research & development. To address 
     these needs, the Committee believes the Defense Department 
     should increase its efforts with the university research 
     community, which has substantial capabilities in the 
     technologies essential to further hypersonic developments.
       Therefore, the Committee directs the Department to deliver 
     a plan to the congressional defense committees 1 year after 
     enactment of this legislation that: (1) identifies high 
     priority research efforts, (2) identifies organizations 
     designated to fund university hypersonic research, (3) 
     describes a plan for partnerships with universities including 
     establishing a consortium of willing participants, (4) 
     develops a strategy for workforce development, acquisition 
     program oversight, and basic research focus area and (5) 
     provides
