To establish a commission to advise the President on proposals for national
commemorative events.
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
JANUARY 26, 1993
Mr. MCCURDY introduced the following bill; which was referred to the
Committee on Post Office and Civil Service
A BILL
To establish a commission to advise the President on
proposals for national commemorative events.
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 ‘‘National Commemora-
tive Events Advisory Act’’.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
The Congress finds that—
(1) the preparation and consideration of the
multitude of bills proposing particular days, weeks,
months, or years for recognition through Presi-
dential proclamation unduly burdens the Congress
and consumes an inordinate amount of time;
(2) such proposals could be more efficiently
considered by a commission whose sole function
would be to review proposals for national commemo-
rative events and to make positive or negative rec-
ommendations thereon to the President;
(3) such a commission would streamline the
process by which such proposals are currently con-
sidered and save the Congress considerable time and
resources which could be devoted to matters of more
pressing national concern; and
(4) such a commission would better ensure the
impartial review of proposals for national commemo-
rative events generated by a wide variety of constitu-
ent groups.
SEC. 3. ESTABLISHMENT AND MEMBERSHIP.
(a) IN GENERAL.—There shall be established a com-
mission to be known as the ‘‘President’s Advisory Com-
mission on National Commemorative Events’’ (hereinafter
in this Act referred to as the ‘‘Commission’’).
(b) MEMBERS.—The Commission shall be composed
of 11 members, as follows:

SEC. 2. FINDINGS. 
Congress finds the following: 
(1) Colorectal cancer is the second leading 
cause of cancer death among men and women in the 
United States, killing more non-smokers than any 
other cancer. 
(2) Every year, more than 140,000 Americans 
are diagnosed with colorectal cancer and more than 
50,000 Americans will die from it. 
(3) Colorectal cancer screening colonoscopy al-
lows for the detection and removal of polyps, or ab-
normal growths, that could become cancerous, as 
well as for the early detection of colorectal cancer 
when treatment can be most effective. 
(4) If all precancerous polyps were identified 
and removed before becoming cancerous, estimates 
show the number of new colorectal cancer cases 
could be reduced by 76 to 90 percent and deaths 
could be reduced by 70 to 90 percent. 
(5) Although colorectal cancer is largely pre-
ventable, one in three adults between the ages of 50 
and 75 are not up to date with recommended 
colorectal cancer screening. 
(6) Two-thirds of colorectal cancer cases are di-
agnosed in patients over the age of 65.

To amend the National School Lunch Act to restore food supplement benefits
under the dependent care food program to adolescent youth.
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
JANUARY 26, 1993
Mr. OWENS introduced the following bill; which was referred to the Committee
on Education and Labor
A BILL
To amend the National School Lunch Act to restore food
supplement benefits under the dependent care food pro-
gram to adolescent youth.
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 ‘‘Adolescent Nutritional
Equity Act’’.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
The Congress finds that—
(1) a nutritionally balanced diet is essential to
good health;
(2) children in their years of growth are espe-
cially vulnerable to nutritionally affected health
risks;
(3) children experience a significant growth
spurt in their adolescent years in which height typi-
cally may increase by 20 percent and body weight
may double;
(4) the years between 13 and 18 are the prin-
cipal ages in which children change from teenagers
to adults both physically and mentally;
(5) due to rapid growth, nutrition requirements
increase during the adolescent years;
(6) inadequate nutrition in the adolescent years
may lead to ill health in later life, and may increase
the risk of contracting the degenerative diseases of
aging;
(7) lower income adolescents are at greater risk
of not receiving proper nutrition;
(8) food assistance provided through the de-
pendent care food program to after-school programs
for adolescents can play a critical role in ensuring
that the nutritional needs of these young people are
fully met; and
(9) eligibility for assistance under the depend-
ent care food program for adolescents between the
ages of 13 and 18 should be restored.
