To amend the Public Health Service Act to provide for expanding and inten-

IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
FEBRUARY 6, 1995
Mrs. MEEK of Florida introduced the following bill; which was referred to the
Committee on Commerce
A BILL
To amend the Public Health Service Act to provide for
expanding and intensifying activities of the National In-
stitute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Dis-
eases with respect to lupus.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representa-
tives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the ‘‘Lupus Research
Amendments of 1995’’.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
The Congress finds that—
(1) lupus is a serious, complex, inflammatory,
autoimmune disease of particular concern to women;
(2) lupus affects women 9 times more often
than men;
(3) there are 3 main types of lupus: systemic
lupus, a serious form of the disease that affects
many parts of the body; discoid lupus, a form of the
disease that affects mainly the skin; and drug-in-
duced lupus caused by certain medications;
(4) lupus can be fatal if not detected and treat-
ed early;
(5) the disease can simultaneously affect var-
ious areas of the body, such as the skin, joints, kid-
neys, and brain, and can be difficult to diagnose be-
cause the symptoms of lupus are similar to those of
many other diseases;
(6) lupus disproportionately affects African-
American women, as the prevalence of the disease
among such women is 3 times the prevalence among
white women, and an estimated 1 in 250 African-
American women between the ages of 15 and 65 de-
velops the disease;
(7) it has been estimated that over 500,000
Americans have been diagnosed with the disease,
and that many more have undiagnosed cases;
