[EX Q]: SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Children's Health Insurance for 
Long-Term Development Act of 1996''.

SEC. 2. PURPOSE.

    The purpose of this act is to provide health insurance coverage for 
children during the Infant Neurological Risk Exposure Period (INREP). 
The INREP extends through age 3 and encompasses the period of most 
rapid neurological changes in young children. Health coverage will 
improve children's health and, through routine health supervision, 
promote parents' caregiving skills through these critical years.

SEC. 3. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds that--
            (1) 86 percent of children with private health insurance 
        are under-insured with respect to well-child care;
            (2) because the human brain develops rapidly until the age 
        of 3, children need regular screenings and follow-up care to 
        detect neurological abnormalities and ensure normal 
        development;
            (3) regular pediatric visits enable physicians to provide 
        guidance on parental activities, such as reading, that 
        stimulate the brain development of infants; and
            (4) children deserve health care coverage that promotes 
        normal brain and nervous system development.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS AND PURPOSES.

    (a) Congress finds the following:
            (1) Information technology is rapidly transforming social 
        relations, political processes, and the economies of the United 
        States and countries around the world.
            (2) The Federal Government is not taking full advantage of 
        the opportunities provided by information technology to more 
        efficiently and effectively perform Governmental functions, 
        including more timely and effective delivery of services to the 
        public and more cost-effective Government operations.
            (3) Federal agencies are not complying with existing 
        statutory requirements to improve the management of information 
        technology and related information resources, including 
        establishing information technology investment control 
        processes, providing adequate protections for personal privacy 
        and information security, systematically managing records 
        maintained in electronic formats, and developing effective 
        tools for delivering services to the public through the 
        Internet.
            (4) New leadership at the highest levels of the Federal 
        Government is required to improve significantly agency 
        development, application, and management of information 
        technology and related information resources, and to enhance 
        the ability of the Office of Management and Budget to oversee 
        agency information resources management under chapter 35 of 
        title 44, United States Code.
            (5) The rapidly expanding use of the Internet as a means 
        for providing services to the public calls for a Federal 
        Government-wide effort to bridge the digital divide and bring 
        the promise of the Information Age to all members of the 
        public, while maintaining the security and privacy required by 
        laws such as the Government Paperwork Elimination Act (title 
        XVII of Pub. Law 105-277; 112 Stat. 2681-749) and the 
        provisions enacted by the Computer Security Act of 1987 (Pub. 
        Law 100-235; 101 Stat. 1724).
            (6) The information technology available to the Federal 
        Government to provide services to the public calls for new 
        approaches across agencies to provide consolidated points of 
        public access to those services.
    (b) Purposes.--The purposes of this Act are the following:
            (1) To establish a central focal point to provide effective 
        leadership for efforts by the Federal Government to use 
        information technology to more efficiently and effectively 
        perform governmental functions.
            (2) To provide a mechanism for improved coordination among 
        Federal agencies for the development, application, and 
        management of information technology and related information 
        resources by the Federal Government.
            (3) To create opportunities for innovation in the 
        development, application, and management of information 
        technology and related information resources by the Federal 
        Government.
