IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
MARCH 18, 1997
Mr. ORTIZ (for himself and Mr. BONILLA) introduced the following bill; which
was referred to the Committee on Commerce
A BILL
To provide surveillance, research, and services aimed at
prevention of birth defects, and for other purposes.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representa-
tives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE; FINDINGS.
(a) SHORT TITLE.—This Act may be cited as the
‘‘Birth Defects Prevention Act of 1997’’.
(b) FINDINGS.—The Congress makes the following
findings:
(1) Birth defects are the leading cause of infant
mortality, directly responsible for one out of every
five infant deaths.
(2) Thousands of the 150,000 infants born with
a serious birth defect annually face a lifetime of
chronic disability and illness.
(3) Birth defects threaten the lives of infants of
all racial and ethnic backgrounds. However, some
conditions pose excess risks for certain populations.
For example, compared to all infants born in the
United States, Hispanic-American infants are more
likely to be born with anencephaly spina bifida and
other neural tube defects and African-American in-
fants are more likely to be born with sickle-cell ane-
mia.
(4) Birth defects can be caused by exposure to
environmental hazards, adverse health conditions
during pregnancy, or genetic mutations. Prevention
efforts are slowed by lack of information about the
number and causes of birth defects. Outbreaks of
birth defects may go undetected because surveillance
and research efforts are underdeveloped and poorly
coordinated.

(42 U.S.C. 243 et seq.) is amended by inserting after sec-
