submitting a revised application, ED shall meet the followingterms:
-- The authorizing statute for this program requires consultation
with the National Endowment for the Humanities and the National
Science Foundation. NEH did not participate in the previous
consultative process, and it is unclear whether NSF participated.
Both agencies shall be included in the next consultative survey,
which shall be conducted prior to the next competition for this
program. -- This consultative survey shall address concerns raised
by Congress regarding need to improve use of the consultative
process, particularl with respect to projected needs for faculty
and scientists. ED shall include sufficient representation of
groups to ensure a diversityof views; the previous survey included
only two non-Federalorganizations. -- ED shall also develop a
weighting system that considersresponses of all respondents
equally; the previous survey gave greaterweight to organizations
that checked more areas of national need.These improvements shall
be made for the next consultative survey, priorto the next
competition and issuance of final program regulations. -- ED shall
modify the p. 14 instruction regarding recruitment, to to prohibit
use of funds only for recruitment that would be conducted normally;
projects may undertake special recruitment activities. -- ED shall
assign its discretionary points to the evaluation criterio
