question:
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``International Cooperative 
Antiterrorism Act of 2002''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) The use of terrorism is detestable and an illegitimate 
        means of political expression.
            (2) International terrorist organizations pose a direct 
        threat to the United States, and this threat is becoming more 
        acute and more difficult to prevent.
            (3) The threat from international terrorism is made far 
        more dangerous by the proliferation of chemical, biological, 
        and radiological weapons and the means to produce those 
        weapons.
            (4) The prosecution of the war against international 
        terrorist organizations must continue until those organizations 
        and the threat they pose to the people and interests of the 
        United States are eliminated.
            (5) The United States can only win the war on terrorism if 
        it receives cooperation from other countries and entities.
            (6) Protecting the United States homeland and United States 
        interests overseas from terrorism is of the highest priority in 
        the foreign relations of the United States.
            (7) Cooperation in the global war against international 
        terrorism must be a primary focus of United States foreign 
        relations, United States assistance, and international security 
        relations.
            (8) Winning the war on terrorism requires cooperation from 
        the international community, especially in the areas of 
        preventing the financing of terror, sharing information on 
        international terror networks, eliminating terror cells, and in 
        preventing the promotion of anti-Americanism and the 
        glorification of terrorism in state-owned media and state-
        controlled schools.
            (9) The promotion of terrorism, intolerance, and virulent 
        anti-Americanism in state-owned media and state-controlled 
        education systems is abhorrent and poses a long-term threat to 
        the safety and security of the United States as well as the 
        community of nations.
            (10) All countries and entities must be encouraged to 
        cooperate in the global war on international terrorism.
            (11) Many foreign governments and entities are doing little 
        to counter proterrorist and prointolerance messages to mass 
        audiences, including to school age children.
            (12) Countries providing direct or indirect assistance to 
        international terrorist organizations undermine the direct 
        security interests of the United States.
            (13) Countries demonstrating indifference to or providing 
        actual endorsement of international terror as a legitimate 
        political tool make a direct threat to the security interests 
        of the United States.
            (14) The National Commission on Terrorism established by 
        section 591 of the Foreign Operations Export Financing, and 
        Related Programs Appropriations Act, 1999, as enacted by Public 
        Law 105-277 (112 Stat. 2681-210), concluded that the United 
        States should strengthen its efforts to discourage the broad 
        range of assistance that countries provide to international 
        terrorists.
            (15) The National Commission on Terrorism further 
        recommends that the President make more effective use of 
        authority to designate foreign governments as ``not fully 
        cooperative'' with the United States counterterrorism efforts.
            (16) United States assistance programs and the transfer of 
        United States Munitions List items are a critical tool of 
        United States foreign policy and winning the global war on 
        terrorism.
            (17) Countries receiving United States assistance and the 
        export of items on the United States Munitions List must be 
        obligated to support the global war on international terror.
            (18) Several existing laws, including the USA Patriot Act 
        of 2001, the Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 
        1996, the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, the Arms Export 
        Control Act, and the Export Administration Act of 1979 (or 
        successor statute), prohibit the provision of United States 
        assistance, and the licensing for export of items on the United 
        States Munitions List, to countries supporting terror or not 
        fully cooperating in antiterror efforts of the United States. 
        These laws should be expanded to include the definition of 
        ``fully cooperative in the global war against international 
        terrorism'' set forth in this Act, including preventing 
        promotion of terror in state-owned and controlled media and 
        educational systems.

            (1) no United States assistance may be provided to any

            (2) no license for export of an item on the United States

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Comprehensive Comparative Study of 
Vaccinated and Unvaccinated Populations Act of 2006''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    The Congress finds as follows:
            (1) Securing the health of the Nation's children is our 
        most important concern as parents and stewards of the Nation's 
        future.
            (2) The Nation's vaccine program has greatly reduced human 
        suffering from infectious disease by preventing and reducing 
        the outbreak of vaccine-preventable diseases.
            (3) Total health outcomes are the best measure of the 
        success of any public health effort, including security from 
        both chronic and infectious disease.
            (4) Childhood immunizations are an important tool in the 
        pursuit of childhood health.
            (5) The number of immunizations administered to infants, 
        pregnant women, children, teenagers, and adults has grown 
        dramatically over recent years.
            (6) The incidence of chronic, unexplained diseases such as 
        autism, learning disabilities, and other neurological disorders 
        appears to have increased dramatically in recent years.
            (7) Individual vaccines are tested for safety, but little 
        safety testing has been conducted for interaction effects of 
        multiple vaccines.
            (8) The strategy of aggressive, early childhood 
        immunization against a large number of infectious diseases has 
        never been tested in its entirety against alternative 
        strategies, either for safety or for total health outcomes.
            (9) Childhood immunizations are the only health 
        interventions that are required by States of all citizens in 
        order to participate in civic society.
            (10) Public confidence in the management of public health 
        can only be maintained if these State government-mandated, mass 
        vaccination programs--
                    (A) are tested rigorously and in their entirety 
                against all reasonable safety concerns; and
                    (B) are verified in their entirety to produce 
                superior health outcomes.
            (11) There are numerous United States populations in which 
        a practice of no vaccination is followed and which therefore 
        provide a natural comparison group for comparing total health 
        outcomes.
            (12) No comparative study of such health outcomes has ever 
        been conducted.
            (13) Given rising concern over the high rates of childhood 
        neurodevelopmental disorders such as autism, the need for such 
        studies is becoming urgent.

SEC. 3. STUDY ON HEALTH OUTCOMES IN VACCINATED AND UNVACCINATED 
              AMERICAN POPULATIONS.

    (a) In General.--The Secretary of Health and Human Services (in 
this Act referred to as the ``Secretary'') , acting through the 
Director of the National Institutes of Health, shall conduct or support 
a comprehensive study--
            (1) to compare total health outcomes, including risk of 
        autism, in vaccinated populations in the United States with 
        such outcomes in unvaccinated populations in the United States; 
        and
            (2) to determine whether vaccines or vaccine components 
        play a role in the development of autism spectrum or other 
        neurological conditions.
    (b) Qualifications.--With respect to each investigator carrying out 
the study under this section, the Secretary shall ensure that the 
investigator--
            (1) is objective;
            (2) is qualified to carry out such study, as evidenced by 
        training experiences and demonstrated skill;
            (3) is not currently employed by any Federal, State, or 
        local public health agency; and
            (4) is not currently a member of a board, committee, or 
        other entity responsible for formulating immunization policy on 
        behalf of any Federal, State, or local public health agency or 
        any component thereof;
            (5) has no history of a strong position on the thimerosal 
        controversy; and
            (6) is not currently an employee of, or otherwise directly 
        or indirectly receiving funds from, a pharmaceutical company.
    (c) Target Populations.--The Secretary shall seek to include in the 
study under this section populations in the United States that have 
traditionally remained unvaccinated for religious or other reasons, 
such as Old Order Amish, members of clinical practices (such as the 
Homefirst practice in Chicago) who choose alternative medical 
practices, and practitioners of anthroposophic lifestyles.
    (d) Timing.--Not later than 120 days after the date of the 
enactment of this Act, the Secretary shall issue a request for 
proposals to conduct the study required by this section. Not later than 
120 days after receipt of any such proposal, the Secretary shall 
approve or disapprove the proposal. If the Secretary disapproves the 
proposal, the Secretary shall provide the applicant involved with a 
written explanation of the reasons for the disapproval.
answer:

Comprehensive Comparative Study of Vaccinated and Unvaccinated Populations Act of 2006 - Requires the Secretary of Health and Human Services, acting through the Director of the National Institutes of Health, to conduct or support a comprehensive study to: (1) compare total health outcomes, including risk of autism, in vaccinated, U.S. populations with such outcomes in unvaccinated, U.S. populations; and (2) determine whether vaccines or vaccine components play a role in the development of autism spectrum or other neurological conditions.

Requires the Secretary to include in the study U.S. populations that have traditionally remained unvaccinated for religious or other reasons, members of clinical practices who choose alternative medical practices, and practitioners of anthroposophic lifestyles.
