                                                                 Clerk.
answer:
National Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program Reauthorization Act of 2006 - Amends the Public Health Service Act to change from 2000 to 2020 the target year for achieving the objectives established by the Secretary of Health and Human Services for reductions in the rate of mortality from breast and cervical cancer in the United States for the committee coordinating Public Health Service activities.

Directs the Secretary to establish a demonstration project which allows the Secretary, acting through the Director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), to waive requirements for awarding breast and cervical cancer grants that require 60% of grant funds to be spent on screening and referrals for medical treatments and no more than 40% to be spent on other activities for not more than five states, if: (1) the state involved will use the waiver to leverage private funds to supplement screening and referral services or the application of such requirements would result in a barrier to the enrollment of women; (2) the state involved provides assurance that the state will annually demonstrate how it will use the waiver to maintain or expand the level of screening and follow-up services provided; (3) the state involved submits to the Secretary a plan for maintaining the level of activities carried out under the waiver after the expiration of the waiver; (4) the Secretary finds that granting such a waiver to a state will not reduce the number of women in the state who receive such services, including screening for both breast and cervical cancers; and (5) the Secretary finds that granting such a waiver to a state will not adversely affect the quality of such services. Requires the Secretary to grant such waivers for a period of two years. Allows the Secretary to extend a waiver, upon request of a state, for additional two-year periods if the Secretary reviews performance under the waiver and finds that the waiver requirements are and have been met.

Requires the Secretary to include as part of the evaluations of the activities carried out pursuant to breast and cervical cancer grants: (1) the total amount of dollars leveraged annually from private entities in states receiving a waiver and how these amounts were used; (2) for states receiving a waiver, the percentages of the grant expended on screening and referral services and on other services or activities; (3) the number of states receiving waivers annually; (4) the number of women receiving screening and referral services in programs before and after the granting of a waiver; (5) the average annual level of state fiscal expenditures for such services for the year preceding the grant of the waiver; and (6) the amount of non-federal contributions by the state according to source and the proportion of non-federal funds to federal funds. Prohibits the use of amounts to which a waiver applies to increase the number of salaried employees.

Authorizes appropriations for breast and cervical cancer grants from FY2007-FY2011.

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Breast Cancer and Environmental 
Research Act of 2005''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    The Congress finds as follows:
            (1) Breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer 
        deaths among American women.
            (2) More women in the United States are living with breast 
        cancer than any other cancer (excluding skin cancer). 
        Approximately 3,000,000 women in the United States are living 
        with breast cancer, about 2,000,000 of which have been 
        diagnosed and an estimated 1,000,000 who do not yet know that 
        they have the disease.
            (3) Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer 
        among women in the United States and worldwide (excluding skin 
        cancer). In 2005, it is estimated that 269,730 new cases of 
        breast cancer will be diagnosed among women in the United 
        States, 211,240 invasive breast cancers and 58,490 cases of 
        ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS).
            (4) Approximately 40,410 women in the United States will 
        die from the disease in 2005. Breast cancer is the leading 
        cause of cancer death for women in the United States between 
        the ages of 20 and 59, and the leading cause of cancer death 
        for women worldwide.
            (5) A woman who lives into her 80s in the United States has 
        a 1 in 7 chance of developing invasive breast cancer in her 
        lifetime. This risk was 1 in 11 in 1975. In 2005, a new case of 
        breast cancer will be diagnosed every 2 minutes and a woman 
        will die from breast cancer every 13 minutes.
            (6) All women are at risk for breast cancer. About 90 
        percent of women who develop breast cancer do not have a family 
        history of the disease.
            (7) The National Action Plan on Breast Cancer, a public 
        private partnership, has recognized the importance of expanding 
        the scope and breadth of biomedical, epidemiological, and 
        behavioral research activities related to the etiology of 
        breast cancer and the role of the environment.
            (8) To date, there has been only a limited research 
        investment to expand the scope or coordinate efforts across 
        disciplines or work with the community to study the role of the 
        environment in the development of breast cancer.
            (9) In 2003, the National Institute of Environmental Health 
        Sciences awarded grants to four research centers to begin to 
        study the prenatal-to-adult environmental exposures that may 
        predispose a woman to breast cancer. The currently funded 
        research is examining the mammary tissue in animals and young 
        girls and study the subjects' life exposures to environmental, 
        nutritional, and social factors that impact menarche. Early 
        menarche, beginning menstruation before the age of 12, has been 
        shown to increase breast cancer risk later in life.
            (10) The National Cancer Institute and the National 
        Institute of Environmental Health Sciences have paired together 
        to make those four centers possible. The two institutes work 
        well together, combining their respective areas of expertise to 
        the best advantage of the research.
            (11) In order to take full advantage of the tremendous 
        potential for avenues of prevention, the Federal investment in 
        the role of the environment and the development of breast 
        cancer should be expanded. The research conducted at the four 
        centers, while critically important, is one small facet of the 
        many issues that must be addressed in order to gauge the link 
        between environmental factors and breast cancer.
            (12) In order to understand the effect of chemicals and 
        radiation on the development of cancer, multi-generational, 
        prospective studies are probably required.

SEC. 3. NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH SCIENCES; AWARDS FOR 
              DEVELOPMENT AND OPERATION OF RESEARCH CENTERS REGARDING 
              ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS RELATED TO BREAST CANCER.

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``International Fund for Israeli-
Palestinian Peace Authorization Act of 2014''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS AND PURPOSES.

    (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
            (1) Peaceful co-existence in the Middle East between 
        Israelis and Palestinians, and between Muslims, Christians, 
        Jews, and those of all backgrounds is in the interests of the 
        United States, Israel, the Palestinian people, and the world.
            (2) While the United States and its international allies 
        continue to support diplomatic and political negotiations 
        between the representatives of the parties to the conflict as 
        well as others, in the long run such efforts require broad 
        popular support among peoples in order to succeed. In order to 
        achieve lasting peace in the region, the people who live there 
        must, over time, sustain any potential high-level agreements.
            (3) Through many independent individual and nongovernmental 
        activities, tens of thousands of peoples of different 
        backgrounds are already working together to build better 
        relations between peoples, through people-to-people coexistence 
        and trust-building measures, activities, and other cooperative 
        efforts.
            (4) By working cooperatively on shared goals and addressing 
        mutual understanding, participants in such activities, 
        including youth, can come to reject violence and understand the 
        promise of peaceful coexistence.
            (5) Through support for people-to-people exchanges in the 
        region and joint economic initiatives, millions of ordinary 
        citizens affected by this conflict can assist in building 
        support for lasting peace.
            (6) Working together, the United States, countries around 
        the world, and the private sector can help sustain support for 
        peace with the establishment and funding of an independent 
        International Fund for Israeli-Palestinian Peace (referred to 
        in this Act as the ``International Fund''), to promote and 
        support contact, cooperation, dialogue, shared community 
        building, peaceful coexistence, joint economic development, and 
        reconciliation between Israelis and Palestinians.
            (7) United States and international support for grassroots 
        people-to-people efforts can help serve as an antidote to false 
        propaganda by terrorist groups.
            (8) The International Fund shall serve as a coordinating 
        body offering expertise and support, adhering to best practices 
        for governance, transparency, and accountability. The 
        International Fund will be an ongoing presence and catalyst for 
        rejecting violence and building broad public support for 
        sustaining peace in the region. The International Fund is not 
        intended to be a political forum, but a grant-making body to 
        facilitate enduring people-to-people relationships.
    (b) Purposes.--The purposes of this Act are as follows:
            (1) To urge the President to make every effort, in

        community to establish a non-political, mutually acceptable 
        International Fund to promote and support contact, cooperation, 
        dialogue, shared community building, peaceful coexistence, 
        joint economic development, and reconciliation between Israelis 
        and Palestinians.
            (2) To provide for United States contributions to consist 
        of amounts made available to carry out chapter 4 of part II of 
        the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 (22 U.S.C. 2346 et seq.

        International Fund to carry out the activities described in 
        paragraph (1).
