taining the environment upon which human life de-
pends. 
(4) On March 22, 2002, President George W. 
Bush stated: ‘‘We fight against poverty because hope 
is an answer to terror. We fight against poverty be-
cause opportunity is a fundamental right to human 
dignity. We fight against poverty because faith re-
quires it and conscience demands it. We fight 
against poverty with a growing conviction that major 
progress is within our reach.’’. 
(5) The 2002 National Security Strategy of the 
United States notes: ‘‘[A] world where some live in 
comfort and plenty, while half of the human race 
lives on less than $2 per day, is neither just nor sta-
ble. Including all of the world’s poor in an expanding 
circle of development and opportunity is a moral im-
perative and one of the top priorities of United 
States international policy.’’. 
(6) The 2006 National Security Strategy of the 
United States notes: ‘‘America’s national interests 
and moral values drive us in the same direction: to 
assist the world’s poor citizens and least developed 
nations and help integrate them into the global econ-
omy.’’.

(7) The bipartisan Final Report of the National 
Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United 
States recommends: ‘‘A comprehensive United 
States strategy to counter terrorism should include 
economic policies that encourage development, more 
open societies, and opportunities for people to im-
prove the lives of their families and enhance pros-
pects for their children.’’. 
(8) At the summit of the Group of Eight (G– 
8) nations in July 2005, leaders from all eight coun-
tries committed to increase aid to Africa from the 
current $25 billion annually to $50 billion by 2010, 
and to cancel 100 percent of the debt obligations 
owed to the World Bank, African Development 
Bank, and International Monetary Fund by 18 of 
the world’s poorest nations. 
(9) At the United Nations World Summit in 
September 2005, the United States joined more 
than 180 other governments in reiterating their 
commitment to achieve the United Nations Millen-
nium Development Goals by 2015. 
(10) The United States has recognized the need 
for increased financial and technical assistance to 
countries burdened by extreme poverty, as well as 
the need for strengthened economic and trade oppor-
(1) Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis are se-
rious inflammatory diseases of the gastrointestinal 
tract. 
(2) Crohn’s disease may occur in any section of 
the gastrointestinal tract but is predominately found 
in the lower part of the small intestine and the large 
intestine. Ulcerative colitis is characterized by in-
flammation and ulceration of the innermost lining of 
the colon. Complete removal of the colon in patients 
with ulcerative colitis can potentially alleviate and 
cure symptoms. 
(3) Because Crohn’s disease and ulcerative coli-
tis behave similarly, they are collectively known as 
inflammatory bowel disease. Both diseases present a 
variety of symptoms, including severe diarrhea; ab-
dominal pain with cramps; fever; and rectal bleeding. 
There is no known cause of inflammatory bowel dis-
ease, or medical cure. 
(4) It is estimated that up to 1,400,000 people 
in the United States suffer from inflammatory bowel 
disease, 30 percent of whom are diagnosed during 
their childhood years. 
(5) Children with inflammatory bowel disease 
miss school activities because of bloody diarrhea and 
abdominal pain, and many adults who had onset of

inflammatory bowel disease as children had delayed 
puberty and impaired growth and have never 
reached their full genetic growth potential. 
(6) Inflammatory bowel disease patients are at 
high risk for developing colorectal cancer. 
(7) The total annual medical costs for inflam-
matory bowel disease patients is estimated at more 
than $2,000,000,000.

BOWEL DISEASE RESEARCH EXPANSION. 
(a) IN GENERAL.—The Director of the National In-
stitute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases 
shall expand, intensify, and coordinate the activities of the 
Institute with respect to research on inflammatory bowel 
disease, with particular emphasis on the following areas: 
(1) Genetic research on susceptibility for in-
flammatory bowel disease, including the interaction 
of genetic and environmental factors in the develop-
ment of the disease. 
(2) Research targeted to increase knowledge 
about the causes and complications of inflammatory 
bowel disease in children. 
(3) Animal model research on inflammatory 
bowel disease, including genetics in animals.
