IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
FEBRUARY 13, 1995
Mr. ANDREWS introduced the following bill; which was referred to the
Committee on National Security
A BILL
To provide for congressional approval of a nuclear aircraft
carrier waste disposal plan before the construction of
CVN–76, 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. NUCLEAR CARRIER WASTE DISPOSAL PLAN.
(a) PLAN REQUIRED.—Within one year of the enact-
ment of this Act, the Secretary of the Navy shall submit
to Congress a 20-year plan for the safe life-cycle mainte-
nance and decommissioning of the Navy’s nuclear-powered
aircraft carriers. The plan shall provide for—
(1) sites and methods for safe disposal of spent
nuclear fuel; and
(2) sites and methods for the safe disposal of
the ships’ hulls, structures, machinery, and equip-
ment.
(b) CONGRESSIONAL APPROVAL.—Notwithstanding
any other provision of law, no funds may be obligated for
the construction of the next nuclear-powered aircraft car-
rier (CVN–76) until the plan set forth in the report re-
quired by subsection (a) (or an alternative plan meeting
the same requirements as set forth in subsection (a)) has
been approved by law.
SEC. 2. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STUDY OF NUCLEAR AIR-
CRAFT CARRIER ACCIDENTS.
Within one year of the enactment of this Act, the Sec-
retary of Energy shall submit to Congress a report detail-
ing the likelihood and environmental impact of a reactor
accident aboard a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, includ-
ing—
(1) a noncombat accident or systems failure;
and
(2) a combat-related accident or systems fail-
ure.
SEC. 3. COST BENEFIT ANALYSIS.
(a) REPORT REQUIRED.—Within one year of the en-
actment of this Act, the Comptroller General of the United
States shall submit to Congress a report detailing the
costs and benefits of the construction of another nuclear-
powered aircraft carrier (CVN–76). The report shall in-
clude—
(1) detailed estimates of the cost of construct-
ing and operating CVN–76;
(2) the operational benefits of a nuclear-pow-
ered aircraft carrier in comparison to a convention-
ally powered aircraft carrier;
(3) the operational limitations of nuclear-pow-
ered aircraft carriers that have been put into place
by foreign nations and international law;
(4) the feasibility and budget impact of fulfill-
ing the Navy’s strategic commitments through the
construction of a conventionally powered aircraft
carrier; and
(5) the feasibility and budget impact of fulfill-
ing the Navy’s strategic commitments through the
performance of a Service Life Extension Program on
the U.S.S. America (CV–66).
Æ
(1) Over 158,000,000 Americans regularly con-
sume dietary supplements to maintain and improve 
their health. 
(2) Consumer expenditures on dietary supple-
ments reached a reported $17,100,000,000 in 2000, 
double the amount spent in 1994. 
(3) According to a recent report issued by the 
Food and Drug Administration (‘‘FDA’’) the use of 
dietary supplements is likely to grow due to factors 
such as the aging of the baby boom generation, in-
creased interest in self-sufficiency, and advances in 
science that are uncovering new relationships be-
tween diet and disease. 
(4) In 1994, the Dietary Supplement Health 
and Education Act of 1994 (Public Law 103–417) 
(‘‘DSHEA’’) was enacted. That Act balanced contin-
ued consumer access to vitamins, minerals, and 
other dietary supplements, increased scientific re-
search on the benefits and risks of dietary supple-
ments, public education on dietary supplements, and 
needed consumer protections. 
(5) DSHEA requires that claims made on die-
tary supplement labels, packaging, and accom-
panying material be truthful, non-misleading, and 
substantiated. Manufacturers are prohibited from
SEC. 2. AUTHORIZATION TO SELL LAND. 
(a) AUTHORIZATION.—For each of fiscal years 2016

retary of the Interior or the Secretary of Agriculture, as

tem land.

objectives; and

tions on the land sales authorized by this Act 
as the Secretary deems in the public interest. 
(2) MINERAL RIGHTS.—For each fiscal year, 
the Secretary concerned may include in the sale of 
land under subsection (a) the mineral rights to such 
land for not more than 50 percent of the total acre-
age sold under subsection (a) by that Secretary, if
