SEC. 1307. SENSE OF THE SENATE REGARDING COMPETI-
TIVE BIDDING FOR INFANT FORMULA.
(a) IN GENERAL.—The Senate finds that—
(1) the Federal Supplemental Nutrition Pro-
gram for Women, Infants and Children (WIC) is a
proven success story, providing special nutrition and
health assistance to at-risk pregnant women, infants
and children;
668
(2) WIC has been shown to reduce the inci-
dence of fetal death, low birthweight, infant mortal-
ity and anemia, to increase the nutritional and
health status of pregnant women, infants and chil-
dren and to improve the cognitive development of in-
fants and children;
(3) research has shown that each dollar spent
on WIC for pregnant women results in savings of
$1.92 to $4.21 in medicaid expenditures;
(4) because of funding limitations not all indi-
viduals eligible for WIC assistance are served by the
program;
(5) infant formula is a significant item in the
cost of WIC monthly food packages, amounting to
approximately 26 percent of WIC food costs after
subtracting manufacturer’s rebates, but approxi-
mately 48 percent of food costs prior to applying re-
bates;
(6) rebates obtained through competitive bid-
ding for infant formula have reduced the cost of in-
fant formula for WIC participants by approximately
$4,100,000,000 through the end of fiscal year 1994,
allowing millions of additional pregnant women, in-
fants and children to be served by WIC with the lim-
ited funds available;
669
(7) the Department of Agriculture has esti-
mated that in fiscal year 1995 rebates obtained
through competitive bidding for infant formula will
total over $1,000,000,000, which will enable WIC to
serve approximately 1,600,000 additional women, in-
fants and children; and
(8) because of the very substantial cost savings
involved, Congress enacted in 1989 legislation re-
quiring that States administering the WIC program
conduct competitive bidding for infant formula.
(b) SENSE OF THE SENATE.—It is the sense of the
Senate that any legislation enacted by Congress should not
eliminate or in any way weaken the present competitive
bidding requirements for the purchase of infant formula
with respect to any program supported wholly or in part
by Federal funds.

to the State programs implemented under paragraph (1)
to determine the relative effectiveness of the different ap-
proaches for preventing out-of-wedlock and teenage preg-
nancy utilized in the programs conducted under this sub-
section and the approaches that can be best replicated by
other States.
‘‘(3) Each State conducting a program under this
subsection shall provide to the Secretary, in such form and
with such frequency as the Secretary requires, data from
the programs conducted under this subsection. The Sec-
retary shall report to the Congress annually on the
progress of the programs and shall, not later than June
671
30, 1998, submit to the Congress a report on the study
required under paragraph (2).’’.
