Input: Consider Input: SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Childrens' Media Protection Act of 
1995''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) On average, a child in the United States is exposed to 
        27 hours of television each week, and some children are exposed 
        to as much as 11 hours of television each day.
            (2) The average American child watches 8,000 murders and 
        100,000 acts of other violence on television by the time the 
        child completes elementary school.
            (3) By the age of 18 years, the average American teenager 
        has watched 200,000 acts of violence on television, including 
        40,000 murders.
            (4) The Times Mirror Center reports that a recent poll of 
        Americans indicates that 72 percent of the American people 
        believe that there is too much violence on television, and, 
        according to a survey by U.S. News and World Report dated May 
        1994, 91 percent of American voters believe that mayhem in the 
        media contributes to violence in real life.
            (5) On several occasions since 1975, The Journal of the 
        American Medical Association has alerted the medical community 
        to the adverse effects of televised violence on child 
        development, including an increase in the level of aggressive 
        behavior and violent behavior among children who view it.
            (6) The National Commission on Children recommended in 1991 
        that producers of television programs exercise greater 
        restraint in the content of programming for children.
            (7) A report of the Harry Frank Guggenheim Foundation, 
        dated May 1993, indicates that there is an irrefutable 
        connection between the amount of violence depicted in the 
        television programs watched by children and increased 
        aggressive behavior among children.
            (8) It is in the National interest that parents be 
        empowered with the technology to block the viewing of 
        television programs whose content is overly violent or 
        objectionable for other reasons.
            (9) Technology currently exists to permit the manufacture 
        of television receivers that are capable of permitting parents 
        to block television programs having violent or otherwise 
        objectionable content.

SEC. 3. ESTABLISHMENT OF TELEVISION VIOLENCE RATING CODE.

            ``(1) be equipped with circuitry designed to enable viewers 
        to block the display of channels, programs, and time slots; and
            ``(2) enable viewers to block display of all programs with 
        a common rating.''.

SEC. 5. SHIPPING OR IMPORTING OF TELEVISIONS THAT BLOCK PROGRAMS.

    (a) Regulations.--Section 330 of the Communications Act of 1934 (47 
U.S.C. 330) is amended--
            (1) by redesignating subsection (c) as subsection (d); and
            (2) by adding after subsection (b) the following new 
        subsection (c):
    ``(c)(1) Except as provided in paragraph (2), no person shall ship 
in interstate commerce, manufacture, assemble, or import from any 
foreign country into the United States any apparatus described in 
section 303(w) of this Act except in accordance with rules prescribed 
by the Commission pursuant to the authority granted by that section.
    ``(2) This subsection shall not apply to carriers transporting 
apparatus referred to in paragraph (1) without trading it.
    ``(3) The rules prescribed by the Commission under this subsection 
shall provide performance standards for blocking technology. Such rules 
shall require that all such apparatus be able to receive the rating 
signals which have been transmitted by way of line 21 of the vertical 
blanking interval and which conform to the signal and blocking 
specifications established by the Commission.
    ``(4) As new video technology is developed, the Commission shall 
take such action as the Commission determines appropriate to ensure 
that blocking service continues to be available to consumers.''.
    (b) Conforming Amendment.--Section 330(d) of such Act, as 
redesignated by subsection (a)(1), is amended by striking ``section 
303(s), and section 303(u)'' and inserting in lieu thereof ``and 
sections 303(s), 303(u), and 303(w)''.

SEC. 6. ELIMINATION OF VIOLENT PROGRAMMING ON TELEVISION DURING CERTAIN 
              HOURS.

            ``(2) The term `programming' includes advertisements but 
        does not include bona fide newscasts, bona fide news 
        interviews, bona fide news documentaries, and on-the-spot 
        coverage of bona fide news events.
            ``(3) The term `public telecommunications entity' has the 
        meaning given such term in section 397(12) of the

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE. &lt;greek-th&gt; x 

    This Act may be cited as the ``Kenai Mountains-Turnagain Arm 
National Heritage Corridor Act''.&lt;greek-th&gt; x 

SEC. 2. FINDINGS AND PURPOSES. &lt;greek-th&gt; x 

    (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:&lt;greek-th&gt; x 
            (1) The Kenai Mountains-Turnagain Arm transportation 
        corridor is a major gateway to Alaska and includes a range of 
        transportation routes used first by indigenous people who were 
        followed by pioneers who settled the Nation's last 
        frontier.&lt;greek-th&gt; x 
            (2) The natural history and scenic splendor of the region 
        are equally outstanding; vistas of nature's power include 
        evidence of earthquake subsidence, recent avalanches, 
        retreating glaciers and tidal action along Turnagain Arm, which 
        has the world's second greatest tidal range.&lt;greek-th&gt; x 
            (3) The cultural landscape formed by indigenous people and 
        then by settlement, transportation and modern resource 
        development in this rugged and often treacherous natural 
        setting stands as powerful testimony to the human fortitude, 
        perseverance, and resourcefulness that is America's proudest 
        heritage from the people who settled the frontier.&lt;greek-th&gt; x 
            (4) There is a national interest in recognizing, 
        preserving, promoting, and interpreting these 
        resources.&lt;greek-th&gt; x 
            (5) The Kenai Mountains-Turnagain Arm region is 
        geographically and culturally cohesive because it is defined by 
        a corridor of historic routes--trail, water, railroad, and 
        roadways through a distinct landscape of mountains, lakes, and 
        fjords.&lt;greek-th&gt; x 
            (6) National significance of separate elements of the 
        region include, but are not limited to, the Iditarod National 
        Historic Trail, the Seward Highway National Scenic Byway, and 
        the Alaska Railroad National Scenic Railroad.&lt;greek-th&gt; x 
            (7) National Heritage Corridor designation provides for the 
        interpretation of these routes, as well as the national 
        historic districts and numerous historic routes in the region 
        as part of the whole picture of human history in the wider 
        transportation corridor including early Native trade routes, 
        connections by waterway, mining trail, and other 
        routes.&lt;greek-th&gt; x 
            (8) National Heritage Corridor designation also provides 
        communities within the region with the motivation and means for 
        ``grass roots'' regional coordination and partnerships with 
        each other and with borough, State, and Federal 
        agencies.&lt;greek-th&gt; x 
            (9) National Heritage Corridor designation is supported by 
        the Kenai Peninsula Historical Association, the Seward 
        Historical Commission, the Seward City Council, the Hope and 
        Sunrise Historical Society, the Hope Chamber of Commerce, the 
        Alaska Association for Historic Preservation, the Cooper 
        Landing Community Club, the Alaska Wilderness Recreation and 
        Tourism Association, Anchorage Historic Properties, the

        Historical Society, the Moose Pass Sportsman's Club, the Alaska 
        Historical Commission, the Girdwood Board of Supervisors, the 
        Kenai River Special Management Area Advisory Board, the Bird/
        Indian Community Council, the Kenai Peninsula Borough Trails 
        Commission, the Alaska Division of Parks and Recreation, the 
        Kenai Peninsula Borough, the Kenai Peninsula Tourism Marketing 
        Council, and the Anchorage Municipal Assembly.&lt;greek-th&gt; x 
    (b) Purposes.--The purposes of this Act are--&lt;greek-th&gt; x 
            (1) to recognize, preserve, and interpret the historic and 
        modern resource development and cultural landscapes of the 
        Kenai Mountains-Turnagain Arm historic transportation corridor, 
        and to promote and facilitate the public enjoyment of these 
        resources; and&lt;greek-th&gt; x 
            (2) to foster, through financial and technical assistance, 
        the development of cooperative planning and partnerships among 
        the communities and borough, State, and Federal Government 
        entities.&lt;greek-th&gt; x
