The bill, briefly
National Science Foundation Authorization Act for Fiscal Years 1987 and 1988 - Authorizes appropriations to the National Science Foundation (NSF) for FY 1987 and 1988. Lists categories for which 1987 funds may be made available. Limits amounts of FY 1987 and 1988 funds which may be used for official consultation, representation, or other extraordinary expenses, and for NSF expenses incurred outside the United States. Prohibits the transfer of funds among the listed categories from exceeding ten percent unless: (1) written notice is given to the Speaker of the House, the President of the Senate, and the appropriate authorizing committees; and (2) 30 days have passed after such notice. Amends the National Science Foundation Act of 1950 to remove from the list of responsibilities of the NSF the requirement to maintain a current register of scientific and technical personnel. Removes the limitation that requires the NSF to only award scholarships and graduate fellowships for scientific study or work within the limits of funds made available specifically for such purposes pursuant to appropriations under such Act. Repeals title IX (Science Information Service) of the National Defense Education Act.
