            (1) between 10,000,000 and 15,000,000 people in the United 
        States have been infected with tuberculosis, nearly 26,000 new 
        active cases are reported each year, and over 1,700 
        tuberculosis-related deaths occur each year;
            (2) the number of reported cases of tuberculosis has risen 
        from 22,201 in 1985 to 26,673 in 1992, representing 51,000 more 
        cases than those that would have been expected since 1985;
            (3) a recent national survey discovered that 14.4 percent 
        of all active tuberculosis cases were resistant to at least one 
        drug;
            (4) drug resistant tuberculosis strains can cost more than 
        $150,000 to treat, and even then, between 40 and 60 percent of 
        the patients receiving such treatment die;
            (5) in 1992, tuberculosis cases were reported to the 
        Centers for Disease Control and Prevention by all 50 States, 
        and cases resistant to one or more tuberculosis drugs were 
        reported in at least 36 States, the District of Columbia and 
        Puerto Rico;
            (6) in 1992, 27 percent of the reported cases of 
        tuberculosis occurred in foreign born persons;
            (7) one third of the world's population harbors 
        tuberculosis; and
            (8) among infectious diseases tuberculosis is still the 
        number one killer in the world with an estimated 8,000,000 new 
        cases each year and 2,900,000 deaths.
