provision of this Act, a State may provide that the 
assessments to be used to measure student achieve-

evidence before the Secretary when such order

Whereas an estimated 300,000 Americans have scleroderma, 
a chronic autoimmune disease that affects the skin, 
joints, and often times the internal organs, including the 
heart, kidneys, lungs, and gastrointestinal tract; 
Whereas scleroderma is difficult to diagnose due to the simi-
larity of its symptoms to those of other autoimmune dis-
eases; 
Whereas like other autoimmune diseases, scleroderma affects 
primarily women, ages 25 to 55, though men and chil-
dren are also affected;

Whereas the cause of scleroderma is unknown and 
scleroderma has no known cure; 
Whereas Federal funding for scleroderma research has re-
mained level at only approximately $11,000,000 for the

Whereas the Federal government, public and private organi-

to improve the quality of life of people affected by 
scleroderma: Now, therefore, be it
