Summary

Declares that the Federal Government is responsible for coordinated planning for population change and that eventual population stabilization is a national goal. States the intent of Congress to include in U.S. foreign policy the goals of encouraging global population stabilization and of attaining a long-term balance among population, resources and the environment. Establishes in the Executive Office of the President an Office of Population Policy the duties of which include: (1) aiding the President in preparing the National Population Change and Planning Report; (2) recommending national and international policies to encourage global population stabilization; and (3) coordinating the use of population statistics and projections research and submitting to the President and Congress studies on the current conditions and trends affecting population (including population trend impacts on national security). Requires all agencies of the Federal Government: (1) to give appropriate consideration to population change in decision making; and (2) to review their present statutory authority, regulations, and policies to achieve compliance with the purposes of this Act. Directs the President to transmit to Congress annually a National Population Change and Planning Report containing specified information. Authorizes appropriations.
