Input: Consider Input: SECTION 1. PHYSICAL EDUCATION FOR PROGRESS.

Title X of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (20
U.S.C. 8001 et seq.) is amended by adding at the end the following:

''PART L--PHYSICAL EDUCATION FOR PROGRESS

''SEC. 10999A. SHORT TITLE.

''This part may be cited as the 'Physical Education for Progress
Act'.

''SEC. 10999B. PURPOSE.

''The purpose of this part is to award grants and contracts to
local educational agencies to enable the local educational agencies to
initiate, expand, and improve physical education programs for all
kindergarten through 12th grade students.

''SEC. 10999C. FINDINGS.

''Congress makes the following findings:
''(1) Physical education is essential to the development of
growing children.
''(2) Physical education helps improve the overall health
of children by improving their cardiovascular endurance,
muscular strength and power, and flexibility, and by enhancing
weight regulation, bone development, posture, skillful moving,
active lifestyle habits, and constructive use of leisure time.
''(3) Physical education helps improve the self esteem,
interpersonal relationships, responsible behavior, and
independence of children.
''(4) Children who participate in high quality daily
physical education programs tend to be more healthy and
physically fit.
''(5) The percentage of young people who are overweight has
more than doubled in the 30 years preceding 1999.
''(6) Low levels of activity contribute to the high
prevalence of obesity among children in the United States.
''(7) Obesity related diseases cost the United States
economy more than $100,000,000,000 every year.
''(8) Inactivity and poor diet cause at least 300,000
deaths a year in the United States.
''(9) Physically fit adults have significantly reduced risk
factors for heart attacks and stroke.
''(10) Children are not as active as they should be and
fewer than 1 in 4 children get 20 minutes of vigorous activity
every day of the week.
''(11) The Surgeon General's 1996 Report on Physical
Activity and Health, and the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention, recommend daily physical education for all students
in kindergarten through grade 12.
''(12) Twelve years after Congress passed House Concurrent
Resolution 97, 100th Congress, agreed to December 11, 1987,
encouraging State and local governments and local educational
agencies to provide high quality daily physical education
programs for all children in kindergarten through grade 12,
little progress has been made.
''(13) Every student in our Nation's schools, from
kindergarten through grade 12, should have the opportunity to
participate in quality physical education. It is the unique
role of quality physical education programs to develop the
health-related fitness, physical competence, and cognitive
understanding about physical activity for all students so that
the students can adopt healthy and physically active
lifestyles.
''(14) Every student in our Nation's schools should have
the opportunity to achieve the goals established by Healthy
People 2000 and Healthy People 2010.

''SEC. 10999D. PROGRAM AUTHORIZED.

Input: Consider Input: SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE; TABLE OF CONTENTS.

(a) Short Title.--This Act may be cited as the ''Depleted Uranium
Munitions Suspension and Study Act of 2001''.
(b) Table of Contents.--The table of contents of this Act is as
follows:

Sec. 1. Short title; table of contents.
Sec. 2. Findings.
Sec. 3. Purposes.
Sec. 4. Suspension of use of depleted uranium munitions.
Sec. 5. Suspension of sale and export of depleted uranium munitions.
Sec. 6. Comptroller general investigation of plutonium contamination.
Sec. 7. Study of health effects of depleted uranium.
Sec. 8. Epa studies of environmental contamination by depleted uranium.
Sec. 9. Environmental mitigation and cleanup requirements.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

Congress makes the following findings:
(1) The highest regard should be given to the health and
safety of the Nation's military personnel.
(2) Among the characteristics of depleted uranium munitions
are that (A) they are pyrophoric, resulting in the munition
burning upon impact with a target, and (B) the impact of a
depleted uranium munition on a target creates aerosol
particles, which can be inhaled.
(3) Depleted uranium munitions were used by the United
States in 1991 during the Persian Gulf War in Southwest Asia
and during the conflicts in the former Federal Republic of
Yugoslavia (Bosnia, Kosovo, Serbia, and Montenegro) during the
1990s, with approximately 300 metric tons of depleted uranium
being used during the Gulf War, three metric tons being used in
Bosnia, and over nine metric tons being used in Kosovo, Serbia,
and Montenegro.
(4) The United States has provided or sold depleted uranium
and depleted uranium munitions to allied nations, and the
United Kingdom used depleted uranium munitions during the
Persian Gulf War.
(5) Depleted uranium munitions have been used at numerous
United States military installations, proving grounds, and
testing facilities.
(6) The Yugoslav and Iraqi Governments have claimed that
depleted uranium is affecting the health of their people,
although such claims have yet to be independently verified.
(7) No definitive cause has been established for the
various illnesses (commonly referred to as ''Gulf War
Syndrome'') that currently affect approximately 130,000 United
States servicemembers and veterans who served in Southwest Asia
during the Persian Gulf War.
(8) The British Royal Navy, Canadian Navy, and United
States Navy have all announced that they would phase out use of
depleted uranium munitions.
(9) It has been reported that depleted uranium munitions
use has proliferated to more than 20 nations.
(10) Crash investigators of the Federal Aviation
Administration are instructed, in FAA Advisory Circular 20-123,
dated December 20, 1984, to ''handle with caution'' any
depleted uranium that they encounter in crash investigations,
and are instructed that ''the main hazard associated with
depleted uranium is the harmful effect the material could have
if it enters the body,'' and that ''[i]f particles are inhaled
or digested, they can be chemically toxic and cause a
significant and long-lasting irradiation of internal
tissues,''.
(11) The 1949 Geneva Convention specifically outlines the
precautions warring nations must take to avoid harming civilian
populations, and it would be a violation of the 1977 Protocol
to that Convention to cause superfluous injury or unnecessary
suffering to civilians, as depleted uranium has the potential
to cause.
(12) The Department of Defense has acknowledged that stocks
of depleted uranium munitions have been contaminated with
transuranic elements, including plutonium.
(13) Plutonium is an extremely toxic, carcinogenic, and
radioactive material with a half-life of 4.5 billion years.

SEC. 3. PURPOSES.

The purposes of this Act are the following:
(1) To eliminate health threats from depleted uranium
munitions to--
(A) United States military personnel and United
States civilian employees;
(B) military personnel and employees of NATO member
nations; and
(C) civilian populations in regions where such
munitions were used (whether in conflict, training, or
development) or produced.
(2) To provide for studies of--
(A) the level and scope of contamination of
depleted uranium munitions by plutonium and other
transuranic elements;
(B) the health effects resulting from exposure by
inhalation, ingestion, or injection to depleted uranium
munitions; and
(C) environmental contamination caused by depleted
uranium at sites where depleted uranium was used in
conflict, development, testing, or training and at
sites where depleted uranium and depleted uranium
munitions were produced.
(3) To require the Administrator of the Environmental
Protection Agency to issue regulations and requirements, based
upon Environmental Protection Agency studies, concerning the
cleanup and mitigation of depleted uranium contamination at
sites of depleted uranium munition use and production in the
United States.

SEC. 4. SUSPENSION OF USE OF DEPLETED URANIUM MUNITIONS.

the health of United States or NATO military personnel; and
(B) will not jeopardize the health of civilian populations
in the area of such use.

shall remain in effect until the Secretary of Health and Human Services
makes a certification described in section 4(b).
(c) Future Exports To Be Limited to Stocks Free of Transuranic
Matter.--Upon a certification by the Secretary of Health and Human
Services described in section 4(b), any subsequent foreign sale or
export of depleted uranium munitions or preproduction depleted uranium
may be made only from stocks of such munitions or preproduction
depleted uranium that the Secretary of Defense certifies to be free of
