In the article, "Academics Talk With Government Representatives About Creating a National Language Policy," we are told that:

"A professor of German took one more step in bringing experts together to work on developing a national language policy on Wednesday."

and that

"The conference accomplished more than what participants agreed was a much-needed dialogue about how the country can build its linguistic competencies to meet its military, intelligence, diplomatic, and economic needs."

I hope that those involved recognize that there are reasons other than meeting American military, intelligence, diplomatic, and economic needs for promoting the study of foreign languages.

How in the name of heaven did the US ever possibly survive without a National Langauge Policy?  I mean did no one think of the safety of the children?
