NAFSA's Bipartisan Legislative Agenda for the 110th Congress

The 110th Congress will have an opportunity to address a pressing national need to enhance U.S. international leadership, competitiveness, and security by strengthening international education and exchange programs. Foreign policy leaders in both the administration and Congress concur on the importance of these programs, and they have strong bipartisan support.

Much of the necessary legislation has been introduced in previous Congresses. Yet, despite some positive steps, comprehensive approaches have fallen victim to the failure of previous Congresses generally to pursue an aggressive legislative agenda. Now is the time for Congress to assert leadership and enact bold international education legislation.
