                new paragraph:
            ``(7) an amount equal to 90 percent of the sums expended 
        during such quarter which are attributable to the costs of 
        providing routine HIV screening services (as defined in 
        subsection (aa)(1)) if the conditions described in subsection 
        (aa)(2) are met; plus''; and
            (2) by adding at the end the following new subsection:
    ``(aa) Routine HIV Screening Services.--

                    ``(A) An HIV screening test (and, if such test is 
                positive, a confirmatory HIV test), including the 
                interpretation of such tests, that is provided as part 
                of medical care in any health care setting (other than 
                an inpatient hospital setting) for an individual who--
                            ``(i) is at least 13, but not more than 64, 
                        years of age;

                        provider (directly, through information 
                        provided by the individual, or through access 
                        to an electronic medical record) previously 
                        ever to have had a positive test for HIV or, 
                        subject to paragraph (3), within the previous 6 
                        months to have had any test for HIV; and

                        will be administered and has not objected to 
                        such a test.
                    ``(B) Informing an individual so tested of the 
                results of the tests at the time of such examination.
                    ``(C) In the case of such an individual who tests 
                positive for HIV on the screening and confirmatory

                and as part of, such examination.
            ``(2) Conditions.--For purposes of subsection (a)(7), the 
        conditions of this paragraph, with respect to routine HIV 
        screening services, are that--
                    ``(A) the payment amount for such services under 
                this title is reasonable and closely approximates the 
                payment amount for such services under part B of title 
                XVIII;
                    ``(B) no cost-sharing is imposed under this title

                subdivision is required to contribute towards the non-
                Federal share of expenditures for routine HIV screening 
                services, the increase in the Federal share applicable 
                under subsection (a)(5) to such services is first 
                applied to reduce the contribution (but not below zero) 
                required by such political subdivision.
            ``(3) Exception.--The limitation under paragraph (1)(A)(ii) 
        with respect to having a test for HIV within the previous 6 
        months shall not apply to an individual if the individual 
        indicates that, because of the individual's possible exposure 
        to HIV during the intervening period, the individual is at 
        increased risk of acquiring HIV since such previous test.''.

PROBLEM: SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Next Generation Internet Research 
Act of 1998''.

SEC. 2. DEFINITIONS.

    (a) Terms Used in This Act.--For purposes of this Act--
            (1) Internet.--The term ``Internet'' has the meaning given 
        such term by section 230(e)(1) of the Communications Act of 
        1934 (47 U.S.C. 230(e)(1)).
            (2) Geographic penalty.--The term ``geographic penalty'' 
        means the imposition of costs on users of the Internet in rural 
        or other locations attributable to the distance of the user 
        from network facilities, the low population density of the area 
        in which the user is located, or other factors, that are 
        disproportionately greater than the costs imposed on users in 
        locations closer to such facilities or on users in locations 
        with significantly greater population density.
    (b) Definition of Network in High-Performance Computing Act of 
1991.--Paragraph (4) of section 4 of the High-Performance Computing Act 
of 1991 (15 U.S.C. 5503) is amended by striking ``network referred to 
as the National Research and Education Network established under 
section 102; and'' and inserting ``network, including advanced computer 
networks of Federal agencies and departments; and''.

SEC. 3. FINDINGS.

    (a) In General.--The Congress finds that--
            (1) United States leadership in science and technology has 
        been vital to the Nation's prosperity, national and economic 
        security, and international competitiveness, and there is every 
        reason to believe that maintaining this tradition will lead to 
        long-term continuation of United States strategic advantages in 
        information technology;
            (2) the United States' investment in science and technology 
        has yielded a scientific and engineering enterprise without 
        peer, and that Federal investment in research is critical to 
        the maintenance of United States leadership;
            (3) previous Federal investment in computer networking 
        technology and related fields has resulted in the creation of 
        new industries and new jobs in the United States;
            (4) the Internet is playing an increasingly important role 
        in keeping citizens informed of the actions of their 
        government; and
            (5) continued inter-agency cooperation is necessary to 
        avoid wasteful duplication in Federal networking research and 
        development programs.
    (b) Additional Findings for the 1991 Act.--Section 2 of the High-
Performance Computing Act of 1991 (15 U.S.C. 5501) is amended by--
            (1) striking paragraph (4) and inserting the following:
            ``(4) A high-capacity, flexible, high-speed national 
        research and education computer network is needed to provide 
        researchers and educators with access to computational and 
        information resources, act as a test bed for further research 
        and development for high-capacity and high-speed computer 
        networks, and provide researchers the necessary vehicle for 
        continued network technology improvement through research.''; 
        and
            (2) adding at the end thereof the following:
            ``(7) Additional research must be undertaken to lay the 
        foundation for the development of new applications that can 
        result in economic growth, improved health care, and improved 
        educational opportunities.
            ``(8) Research in new networking technologies holds the 
        promise of easing the economic burdens of information access 
        disproportionately borne by rural users of the Internet.
            ``(9) Information security is an important part of 
        computing, information, and communications systems and 
        applications, and research into security architectures is a 
        critical aspect of computing, information, and communications 
        research programs.''.

SEC. 4. PURPOSES.

    (a) In General.--The purposes of this Act are--
            (1) to serve as the first authorization in a series of 
        computing, information, and communication technology 
        initiatives outlines in the High-Performance Computing Act of 
        1991 (15 U.S.C. 5501 et seq.) that will include research

                    (A) focus on the research and development of a 
                coordinated set of technologies that seeks to create a 
                network infrastructure that can support greater speed, 
                robustness, and flexibility than is currently available 
                and promote connectivity and interoperability among 
                advanced computer networks of Federal agencies and 
                departments;
                    (B) focus on research in technology that may result 
                in high-speed data access for users that is both 
                economically viable and does not impose a geographic 
                penalty; and
                    (C) encourage researchers to pursue approaches to 
                networking technology that lead to maximally flexible
