6,000,000 Jews, along with millions of others, in the name of
racial purity.
''(2) Eight States (California, Florida, Illinois, Indiana,
Michigan, New Jersey, New York, and Rhode Island) now mandate
that the Holocaust be taught in the educational curriculum, and
12 States (Alabama, Connecticut, Georgia, Mississippi,
Missouri, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, South Carolina,
Tennessee, Washington, and West Virginia) recommend teaching
the Holocaust but the funds necessary to carry out those
recommendations may not be available.
''(3) The Holocaust is a sensitive and difficult subject to
teach effectively, and educators need appropriate teaching
tools and training to increase their knowledge of the Holocaust
and enhance the educational experience.
''(b) Statement of Purpose.--It is the purpose of this subpart--
''(1) to educate students in the United States so that
they--
''(A) may explore the lessons that the Holocaust
provides for all people; and
''(B) may be less susceptible to the falsehood of
Holocaust denial and to the destructive messages of
hate that arise from Holocaust denial; and
''(2) to provide resources and support for educational
programs that--
''(A) portray accurate historical information about
the Holocaust;
''(B) sensitize communities to the circumstances
that gave rise to the Holocaust;

any of its departments or agencies or the administrative authority of

prohibited because the donation would reflect unfavorably upon the

fair and objective manner, or would compromise the integrity or the
appearance of the integrity of its programs or any official or employee
involved in those programs.

donations of money from the nonprofit described in subsection (b). Such
funds shall be deposited in a special fund established in the Treasury

Example Input: SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

This Act may be cited as the ''Sound Science in Risk Assessment
Act''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

Congress finds that--
(1) as of the date of enactment of this Act, approximately
$140,000,000,000 per year, over 2 percent of the annual gross
national product of the United States, is being spent on
environmental compliance, and the amount being spent is
expected to rise substantially;
(2) unfunded Federal environmental mandates are straining
the budgets of State and local governments and may diminish the
financial resources available for other important public
programs and services;
(3) an environmental risk assessment developed by the
Environmental Protection Agency is often perceived as not
containing sufficient scientific objectivity, absence of bias,
clarity, or consistency to serve as a sound and credible basis
for protecting public health and safety, determining
environmental protection needs and priorities, making
regulatory decisions, or allocating limited financial
resources; and
(4) Executive Order No. 12866 (5 U.S.C. 601 note; relating
to regulatory planning and review) requires a decision by a
Federal agency to be based on the best reasonably obtainable
scientific and technical information, and embodies the
principle of openness in government.

(A) consistent;
(B) of high technical quality;
