1 SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE. 

2 This Act may be cited as the ‘‘Recognizing Addiction 

3 as a Disease Act of 2007’’. 

4 SEC. 2. FINDINGS. 

5 Congress makes the following findings: 

6 (1) Addiction is a chronic, relapsing brain dis7 ease that is characterized by compulsive drug seek8 ing and use, despite harmful consequences. It is con9 sidered a brain disease because drugs change the 

10 brain’s structure and manner in which it functions. 

11 These brain changes can be long lasting, and can 

12 lead to the harmful behaviors seen in people who 

13 abuse drugs. The disease of addiction affects both 

14 brain and behavior, and scientists have identified 

15 many of the biological and environmental factors 

16 that contribute to the development and progression 

17 of the disease. 

18 (2) The pejorative term ‘‘abuse’’ used in con19 nection with diseases of addiction has the adverse ef20 fect of increasing social stigma and personal shame, 

21 both of which are so often barriers to an individual’s 

22 decision to seek treatment. 

23 SEC. 3. NAME CHANGE.

7 (a) FINDINGS.—Congress makes the following findings: 

8 (1) Since it was established by Congress in 1962 

9 at the request of President John F. Kennedy, the Na10 tional Institute of Child Health and Human Develop11 ment has achieved an outstanding record of achieve12 ment in catalyzing a concentrated attack on the un13 solved health problems of children and of mother-in14 fant relationships by fulfilling its mission to— 

15 (A) ensure that every individual is born 

16 healthy and wanted, that women suffer no harm17 ful effects from reproductive processes, and that 

18 all children have the chance to achieve their full 

19 potential for healthy and productive lives, free 

20 from disease or disability; and 

21 (B) ensure the health, productivity, inde22 pendence, and well-being of all individuals 

23 through optimal rehabilitation.

1 tributions to the advancement of child health and 

2 human development, including significant efforts to— 

3 (A) reduce dramatically the rates of Sudden 

4 Infant Death Syndrome, infant mortality, and 

5 maternal HIV transmission; 

6 (B) develop the Haemophilus Influenza B 

7 (Hib) vaccine, credited with nearly eliminating 

8 the incidence of mental retardation; and 

9 (C) conduct intramural research, support 

10 extramural research, and train thousands of 

11 child health and human development researchers 

12 who have contributed greatly to dramatic gains 

13 in child health throughout the world. 

14 (3) The vision, drive, and tenacity of one 

15 woman, Eunice Kennedy Shriver, was instrumental 

16 in proposing, passing, and enacting legislation to es17 tablish the National Institute of Child Health and 

18 Human Development (Public Law 87–838) on Octo19 ber 17, 1962. 

20 (4) It is befitting and appropriate to recognize 

21 the substantial achievements of Eunice Kennedy 

22 Shriver, a tireless advocate for children with special 

23 needs, whose foresight in creating the National Insti24 tute of Child Health and Human Development gave 

25 life to the words of President Kennedy, who wished to
