SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Route 66 Centennial Commission 
Act''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) Route 66 was the Nation's first all-paved highway under 
        the U.S. Highway System connecting the Midwest to California 
        and has played a major role in the history of the United 
        States.
            (2) Route 66 was the symbol of opportunity to hundreds of 
        thousands of people seeking escape from the Dust Bowl in the 
        1930s, serving as a ``road to opportunity'' in the West and 
        providing employment during the Great Depression, as thousands 
        were put to work on road crews to pave the road.
            (3) Route 66 was invaluable in transporting troops, 
        equipment, and supplies across the country to the West, where 
        the government established multiple industries and armed force 
        bases during World War II. Upon the conclusion of the war in 
        1945, Route 66 was a key route taken by thousands of troops as 
        they returned home.
            (4) Route 66 symbolized the Nation's positive outlook 
        during the postwar economic recovery in the 1950s and 1960s, 
        serving as an icon of free-spirited independence and linking 
        people across the United States. During this period, the 
        tourist industry along Route 66 grew tremendously, giving rise 
        to countless tourist courts, motels, service stations, garages, 
        and diners.
            (5) Since June 27, 1985, when Route 66 was decommissioned 
        as a Federal highway, the popularity and mythical stature of 
        Route 66 has grown domestically and internationally, as the 
        road has experienced a rebirth of interest and support.
            (6) The year 2026 will be the centennial anniversary of 
        Route 66, and a commission should be established to study and 
        recommend to Congress activities that are fitting and proper to 
        celebrate that anniversary in a manner that appropriately 
        honors America's Mother Road.

SEC. 3. ESTABLISHMENT.

    There is established a commission to be known as the Route 66 
Centennial Commission (referred to in this Act as the ``Commission'').

SEC. 4. DUTIES.

        centennial anniversary, including any of the activities 
        described under section 8(b)(2)(B).
            (2) To recommend to Congress the activities the Commission 
        considers most fitting and proper to honor Route 66 on such 
        occasion, to be carried out by the Department of Transportation 
        and any other entity or entities within the Federal Government 
        that the Commission considers most appropriate to carry out 
        such activities.
            (3) To plan and host, in cooperation with such partners, a

answer:
National Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program Reauthorization Act of 2006 - Amends the Public Health Service Act to change from 2000 to 2020 the target year for achieving the objectives established by the Secretary of Health and Human Services for reductions in the rate of mortality from breast and cervical cancer in the United States for the committee coordinating Public Health Service activities.

Directs the Secretary to establish a demonstration project which allows the Secretary, acting through the Director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), to waive requirements for awarding breast and cervical cancer grants that require 60% of grant funds to be spent on screening and referrals for medical treatments and no more than 40% to be spent on other activities for not more than five states, if: (1) the state involved will use the waiver to leverage private funds to supplement screening and referral services or the application of such requirements would result in a barrier to the enrollment of women; (2) the state involved provides assurance that the state will annually demonstrate how it will use the waiver to maintain or expand the level of screening and follow-up services provided; (3) the state involved submits to the Secretary a plan for maintaining the level of activities carried out under the waiver after the expiration of the waiver; (4) the Secretary finds that granting such a waiver to a state will not reduce the number of women in the state who receive such services, including screening for both breast and cervical cancers; and (5) the Secretary finds that granting such a waiver to a state will not adversely affect the quality of such services. Requires the Secretary to grant such waivers for a period of two years. Allows the Secretary to extend a waiver, upon request of a state, for additional two-year periods if the Secretary reviews performance under the waiver and finds that the waiver requirements are and have been met.

Requires the Secretary to include as part of the evaluations of the activities carried out pursuant to breast and cervical cancer grants: (1) the total amount of dollars leveraged annually from private entities in states receiving a waiver and how these amounts were used; (2) for states receiving a waiver, the percentages of the grant expended on screening and referral services and on other services or activities; (3) the number of states receiving waivers annually; (4) the number of women receiving screening and referral services in programs before and after the granting of a waiver; (5) the average annual level of state fiscal expenditures for such services for the year preceding the grant of the waiver; and (6) the amount of non-federal contributions by the state according to source and the proportion of non-federal funds to federal funds. Prohibits the use of amounts to which a waiver applies to increase the number of salaried employees.

Authorizes appropriations for breast and cervical cancer grants from FY2007-FY2011.

answer:

Drug Use Prevention Act of 1997 - Amends:  (1) the Social Security Act to exclude individuals and entities from participation in Medicare and State health care programs (participation) for administering, dispensing, or recommending the use of marihuana to an individual in violation of Federal or State law; and (2) the Controlled Substances Act (CSA) to direct the Attorney General to deny an application for registration, or revoke a registration, of a practitioner to dispense, or conduct research with, controlled substances upon a finding by the Attorney General that the applicant practitioner administered, dispensed, or recommended the use of marihuana to an individual in violation of Federal or State law or that the applicant practitioner has been excluded (or directed to be excluded) from participation for illegally dispensing marihuana. 
Deems a practitioner to have "recommended" the use of marihuana if he or she offered advice, or responded to a request for advice, suggesting the use of marihuana while acting in the course of his or her professional capacity. 
Amends the CSA to prohibit:  (1) an individual from acquiring or obtaining possession of marihuana by means of claiming a medical need, with the intent of selling or distributing the marihuana; and (2) a practitioner from prescribing, dispensing, or recommending the use of marihuana. 
Directs that, in addition to any other applicable penalty, any practitioner who violates the CSA by prescribing, dispensing, or recommending the use of marihuana to a person under age 21 be sentenced to up to eight years' imprisonment, fined up to $60,000, or both.
