oughly review the implant manufacturers’ standing with the agency.

A BILL
To promote research to identify and evaluate the health
effects of breast implants; to ensure that women receive
accurate information about such implants and to encour-
age the Food and Drug Administration to thoroughly
review the implant manufacturers’ standing with the
agency.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representa-

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the ‘‘Breast Implant Re-
search and Information Act’’.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS AND PURPOSE.
(a) FINDINGS.—Congress makes the following find-
ings:
(1) According to the Institute of Medicine, it is
estimated that 1,000,000 to 2,000,000 American
women have received breast implants over the last
35 years. Because there has never been a patient
registry for breast implant recipients it is impossible
to more accurately determine the number of women
who have received breast implants. Yet, the Amer-
ican Society of Plastic Surgeons estimates that in
1999 alone 82,975 women had breast reconstruction
following mastectomies and another 167,318 Amer-
ican women received breast implants for cosmetic
purposes.
(2) From 1985 until January 2000, FDA re-
ceived 127,770 adverse reaction reports for silicone
gel-filled breast implants and 65,720 adverse reac-
tion reports for saline-filled implants.
(3) Women need complete and accurate infor-
mation about the potential health risks and advan-
tages of breast implants so that women can make in-
formed decisions.
