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.

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE; TABLE OF CONTENTS.

    (a) Short Title.--This Act may be cited as the ``Working Families 
Child Care Act of 1997''.
    (b) Table of Contents.--The table of contents for this Act is as 
follows:

Sec. 1. Short title; table of contents.
Sec. 2. Findings.
Sec. 3. Assistance for low-income working families.
Sec. 4. Grants for child care supply shortages.
Sec. 5. Report on access to child care by low-income working families.
Sec. 6. Effective date.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) Availability and affordability of quality child care is 
        a major obstacle for working parents who struggle to remain 
        self-sufficient.
                    (A) Compared to all other income groups, the 
                working poor are the least likely to receive assistance 
                with their child care costs.
                    (B) Low-income families spend 24 percent of their 
                household income on child care, whereas middle-income 
                families spend 6 percent of their household income on 
                child care.
                    (C) 38 States have waiting lists for child care for 
                the working poor. Among those States, Georgia has 
                41,000 individuals on its waiting list, Texas has 
                36,000 individuals on its waiting list, and Illinois 
                and Alabama each have 20,000 individuals on their 
                waiting lists.
                    (D) One survey of low-income families on a waiting 
                list for subsidized child care found that of those 
                families paying for child care out of their own funds, 
                71 percent faced serious debt or bankruptcy.
                    (E) Half of the States and the District of 
                Columbia, even before the enactment of the Personal 
                Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act 
                of 1996 (Public Law 104-193, 110 Stat. 2105) during the 
                104th Congress, increased the proportion of child care 
                slots or dollars going to families on welfare, rather 
                than to working poor families.
            (2) The Congressional Budget Office estimates that there 
        will be $1,400,000,000 less expenditures of child care funds 
        for working poor families as a result of the States 
        implementing the work requirements imposed under the Personal 
        Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 
        (Public Law 104-193, 110 Stat. 2105).
            (3) Important types of child care are not available in 
        certain States including infant care, school-age care, care for 
        children with disabilities and special health care needs, and 
        child care for parents with unconventional or shifting work 
        hours.
                    (A) A 1995 State study by the Comptroller General 
                of the United States found a shortage of child care for 
                infants and children with special needs in inner 
                cities, and a shortage of all types of child care in 
                rural areas.
                    (B) Only one-third of the schools in low-income 
                neighborhoods offer school-age child care, compared 
                with 52 percent of schools in more affluent areas 
                offering such care.
                    (C) Eighth-graders who are left home alone for 11 
                or more hours a week report significantly greater use 
                of cigarettes, alcohol, and marijuana than eighth-
                graders who are not left home alone.
                    (D) Existing child care arrangements do not 
                accommodate the work schedules of many working women. 
                According to a 1995 statistic published by the 
                Department of Labor, 14,300,000 workers, nearly 1 in 5 
                full-time workers work nonstandard hours, and more than 
                1 in 3 of those workers are women.
                    (E) Only 10 percent of child care centers and 6 
                percent of family day care providers offer child care 
                on weekends. Yet one-third of working mothers with 
                annual incomes below the poverty level and one-quarter 
                of mothers with annual incomes above the poverty level 
                but below $25,000 work on weekends.
                    (F) Less than 30 percent of Head Start programs 
                operate on a full-time, full-year basis.

SEC. 3. ASSISTANCE FOR LOW-INCOME WORKING FAMILIES.

    Section 658B of the Child Care Development Block Grant Act of 1990 
(42 U.S.C. 9858) is amended to read as follows:

``SEC. 658B. FUNDING OF GRANTS.

    ``(a) Authorization of Appropriations.--Except as provided in 
subsection (b), there is authorized to be appropriated to carry out 
this subchapter $2,000,000,000 for each of fiscal years 1997 through 
2002.
    ``(b) Appropriation.--The Secretary shall pay, from funds in the 
Treasury not otherwise appropriated, $1,400,000,000 for fiscal years 
1997 through 2002, through the awarding of grants to States under this 
subchapter for the purpose of providing child care services for 
families who have left the State program of assistance under part A of 
title IV of the Social Security Act because of employment, families 
that are at risk of becoming dependent on such assistance program, and 
low-income working families described in section 658E(c)(3)(D). Funds 
shall be paid under this subsection to the States in the same manner, 
and subject to the same requirements and limitations, as funds are paid 
to the States under section 418 of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 
618).''.
