(Applause. And there's no better way to make sure that young students are
encouraged to take math and science than to have successful scientists explain
to our students just the wonders of exploration . And the exciting jobs of the
21st century are going to be in math and science.)

It
has helped to move our economy forward and it 's helped to make sure that
America is the leader of innovation in our world. I want to
thank the representative from the National Science Foundation and members of
the board of the National Science and Technology Medals Foundation.
Over the years, National Science and Technology laureates have been
responsible for breakthroughs that revolutionized telecommunications,
discovered the structure of DNA, led to the invention of the microchip. And so in my State of the Union I encouraged our
nation to stay on the leading edge of technology and education. If we want this country to be the most competitive
country in the world, we have got to spend money now to make sure we stay on
the leading edge of technological change.)
We can't be the leading country in the world in science and technology
unless we educate scientists and young mathematicians. The facts are that we're doing fine with 4th grade kids in
math and science. (Applause.984.

The work we honor today has improved the lives of people everywhere. They make a significant difference in the lives of our children. And
so by making sure more teachers can teach AP, this country will be better off
in making sure that we've got the future scientists and mathematicians living
right here in the United States of America . May God continue to bless our great nation.
Accepting the award, Executive Vice President of Sales and Marketing
Claude Hooton stated, "At Baxa, our entire company is our sales team.

The medals are our nation's
way of expressing gratitude to gifted and visionary citizens. I thank David
Sampson , from Commerce, for joining us.)
Six of today's eight science laureates have benefited from past investment
in this kind of research.
We can't make sure our children have got math and science -- fine math and
science courses unless we've got teachers capable of teaching math and
science . They provide incentives for their employees to go
into the classrooms of local high schools and community colleges to say to
youngsters, join us in these exciting fields.
You know, it's interesting, people generally do not pursue a career in
science or technology with the goal of fame .) The work of discovery is quiet and often solitary. And so today we're here to say thanks for what you've done; thanks
for helping improve the quality of life in this country; thanks for inspiring
others., Baxa Corporation, a medical
device manufacturer focusing on hospital pharmacy applications , was awarded a
2005 American Business Award for Best Sales Team in a ceremony held June 6th
at the New York City Marriott Marquis. Baxa
was honored with seventy-three other companies chosen from the semi-finalists.

I thank Dr.
The medals I'm about to present are the highest award a President can
bestow for astounding achievement in science and technology. And we will then wonder how we
ever lived without them.
Our nation has a vital stake in the research and discovery that makes
these advances possible. I appreciate you being here. In the US, UK, Canada and
Germany, the company uses a direct sales force, supplemented by an inside
sales team.stevieawards.2292 ext.

I want to thank members of my Cabinet who have joined us: Secretary
Gutierrez, Secretary Bodman . I want to thank Dr. Dr. We've also got to recognize it's in
the private sector where most money is spent on research and development, yet
we unwisely have allowed the research and development tax credit to expire. And so as part of the
Competitive Initiative I'm going to work with the Congress to make sure we
extend the same standards in the No Child Left Behind Act that we apply to
reading and math. And the American people
must understand that if we don't educate our kids in math and science, the
jobs are going to go elsewhere in the years to come. (Laughter. Congratulations on your medals, and now the military aide will read
the citations.)

THE PRESIDENT: Again , thank you for coming.

Jack Marburger, who is the
Director of the Office of Science and Technology Policy. These kinds of changes are the result of years of
hard work by American innovators, like those we honor here today.
If the United States expects to remain competitive in a global economy, we
must encourage our private sector to continue to invest in leading-edge
technologies, and therefore, we ought to make the research and development tax
credit a permanent part of our tax code.
And one of the sure ways to change that is to apply special money for kids who
need extra help in junior high for math and science.567.3558

Those

payphones instead of cell phones. I've talked
about an American Competitiveness Initiative that will double over the next 10
years the federal commitment to the most critical, basic research programs in
the physical sciences. We've got some young scientists from Benjamin Banneker High
School with us. The awards broadcast will be available on

technologies that are beyond our imagination. They 've
got an interesting program." Hooton continued saying,
"Winning this award validates our operating philosophy and honors each and
every associate.

Each of our
honorees has been blessed with talent , and each has used their talent to the
fullest.
I thank my friends, Congressman Sherry Boehlert , as well as Dave Reichert, of
the United States Congress, for being here. Twenty-five years
ago , most Americans used typewriters instead of computers. I
mean, we want young kids to think math and science -- math and science are
cool subjects, that it's okay to be a mathematician, that it 's exciting to be
a scientist.
Yet, all Americans benefit from your imagination and your talent and your
resolve. A complete list of award winners is available at

And one way to do that is to expand education to high school
teachers in how to teach advanced placement. Our

boss and that's what our nomination describes.

(Laughter. Thank you both for coming. The National
Medal of Science honors those whose research has enhanced our understanding of
life and the world around us. From Thomas Edison's light bulb, to Robert Ledley 's
CAT scan machine, most of America's revolutionary inventions began with men
and women with the vision to see beyond what is, and the desire to pursue what
might be.
I hope that you are inspired by the examples of excellence and success that
you see right here in this ceremony today.
