Title: JNCL-NCLIS Language Issue Alert

The new program is the vision of the late Senator Paul Simon (D-IL). His proposal envisions fellowships of up to $7,000 for 500,000 students per year to study abroad for a summer or a school year. For updates on the progress of the Commission, please visit the JNCL-NCLIS website at www.languagepolicy.org.

The report outlines the following: a) Consideration of the Military Reserve Model b) CLRC Structure and Operations c) Requirements for levels of proficiency and performance of duties d) Requirements for skill maintenance and training requirements For a copy of the full report, please visit www.ndu.edu/nsep.
