This Act may be cited as the ‘‘Endocrine Disruption 
Prevention Act of 2009’’.

(a) FINDINGS.—The Congress finds that— 
(1) a disturbing increase in the number of dis-
orders of the human endocrine system is seriously 
undermining the health and wealth of the Nation; 
(2) these disorders include attention deficit hy-
peractivity disorder (ADHD), autism, learning dis-
abilities, asthma, juvenile cancer, juvenile and adult 
diabetes, 
autoimmune 
diseases, 
cryptorchidism, 
hypospadias, endometriosis, obesity, osteoporosis, 
testicular cancer, male dysgenesis syndrome, breast 
cancer, prostate cancer, Parkinson’s disease, and 
Alzheimer’s dementia; 
(3) these disorders began to increase noticeably 
at the population level in the early 1970s when the 
first generation exposed in the womb to post-World 
War II synthetic chemicals reached maturity; 
(4) prior to 1950, these disorders were rare, 
which rules out the influence of inherited disorders; 
(5) today, among the fourth generation of chil-
dren exposed in the womb, one in three children and 
one in two minority children will develop diabetes; 
one in six children is born with neurological damage;

SEC. 2. FINDINGS. 
Congress finds the following: 
(1) Our Nation continues to be hamstrung by 
a recession that led to the current jobless recovery 
and record deficits. 
(2) The unemployment rate is now 10.2 percent 
and most economists expect it to climb higher. 
(3) 
The 
Federal 
deficit 
has 
reached 
$1,400,000,000,000 for 2009. 
(4) The jobless recovery suggests that the Fed-
eral Government must continue to prime the econ-
omy, but the record deficit is a real obstacle. 
(5) Following their $700,000,000,000 bailout, 
Wall Street is now enjoying a resurgence in profits 
and bonuses. 
(6) A robust economy needs more than Wall 
Street profits. Main Street America is strengthened 
by good paying jobs for all Americans, not just Wall 
Street bankers. 
(7) To restore Main Street America, a small se-
curities transaction tax on Wall Street should be in-
vested in job creation for Main Street America. 
(8) A securities transaction tax on Wall Street 
has a negligible impact on the average investor and 
pension funds.

and religious purposes, the Secretary shall ensure access 
to the Outstanding Natural Area by Indians and Indian 
tribes for such traditional cultural and religious purposes. 
In implementing this section, the Secretary, upon the re-
quest of a federally recognized Indian tribe or Indian reli-
gious community, shall temporarily close to the general 
public use of one or more specific portions of the Out-
standing Natural Area in order to protect the privacy of 
traditional cultural and religious activities in such areas 
by the federally recognized Indian tribe or Indian religious 
community. Any such closure shall be made to affect the 
smallest practicable area for the minimum period nec-
essary for such purposes. Such access shall be consistent 
with the purpose and intent of Public Law 95–341 (42 
U.S.C. 1996 et seq.; commonly referred to as the ‘‘Amer-
ican Indian Religious Freedom Act’’). 
(k) NO BUFFER ZONES.—The designation of the 
Outstanding Natural Area is not intended to lead to the 
creation of protective perimeters or buffer zones around 
the area. The fact that activities outside the Outstanding 
Natural Area and not consistent with the purposes of this 
Act can be seen or heard within the Outstanding Natural 
Area shall not, of itself, preclude such activities or uses 
up to the boundary of the Outstanding Natural Area.
