SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

This Act may be cited as the ''National Center for Excellence in
Research and Development Act of 1996''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

The Congress finds the following:
(1) Due to the end of the Cold War, the United States has
not recently conducted underground nuclear testing at the
Department of Energy facility known as the Nevada Test Site,
Nevada, and the United States does not plan to conduct such
testing in the foreseeable future.
(2) Because the world political situation is ever-changing
and dangerous, it is imperative that the United States remain
strong militarily and continue to be a nuclear superpower.
(3) It is imperative that portions of the Nevada Test Site
be maintained in a full state of readiness to ensure the
capability of the nuclear arsenal of the United States.
(4) The Nevada Test Site is in a beneficial location for
activities suitable for research and development of emerging
technologies that will be important to the United States in the
21st century.
(5) Technology development carried out at the Nevada Test
Site should include both private-sector and military projects.
(6) The Nevada Test Site can support the stewardship of the
Nation's nuclear weapons stockpile, the nonproliferation of
nuclear weapons, and the technological competitiveness of the
United States by providing the environment for nuclear and non-
nuclear test and demonstration experiments and projects for
government, industry, and academia.
(7) The Nevada Test Site can provide the infrastructure to
support industrial and civilian tests of environmentally
demanding projects and programs in addition to maintaining its
readiness capability in support of the nuclear arsenal.
(8) The Nevada Test Site can support the testing and
demonstration of environmental clean-up technologies by
government and industry.
(9) The Nevada Test Site can support the testing of
alternative and renewable energy sources for environmentally
clean and economically competitive replacements for traditional
fossil energy sources and uses in many parts of Nevada and in
the United States as a whole.
(10) The Nevada Test Site can provide support for
disarmament activities such as the demonstration of rocket
motor destruction technology and conventional munitions
destruction technology.
(11) The Nevada Test Site can support non-proliferation
experiments in disablement, nuclear forensics, sensors, and
verification and monitoring.
(12) The Nevada Test Site can support treaty-compliant
experiments for stockpile stewardship purposes.
(13) The size and remoteness of the Nevada Test Site make
the Nevada Test Site well-suited for a multitude of activities
associated with the restructuring of the United States
military.
(14) The Nevada Test Site can also support non-
proliferation, counter-proliferation, and counter-terrorism
activities.

SEC. 3. PURPOSES.

It is the purpose of this Act--
(1) to ensure full operational readiness of the underground
nuclear testing facilities and infrastructure of the Nevada
Test Site;
(2) to ensure an appropriate level of funds for such
readiness to be maintained;
(3) to create a National Test and Demonstration Center of
Excellence at the Nevada Test Site for the promotion of
disarmament, demilitarization, alternative and renewable energy
sources, the nonproliferation of nuclear weapons, counter-
proliferation of nuclear weapons, sensor development, and
environmentally sensitive technologies; and
(4) to ensure the availability of the Nevada Test Site,
within appropriate restrictions, for use by private-sector
industries seeking to make use of the inherent qualities that
make the Nevada Test Site the greatest outdoor laboratory in
the world.

SEC. 4. MAINTENANCE OF READINESS CAPABILITY OF NEVADA TEST SITE.

(a) Authorization of Appropriations.--
(1) In general.--The amount referred to in paragraph (2) is
hereby authorized to be appropriated to the Secretary of Energy

staffing level at the Nevada Test Site that the Secretary considers
sufficient to carry out activities under this Act in addition to any
other activities conducted by the Department of Energy at the Nevada
Test Site.
(c) Infrastructure Assessments and Activities.--The Secretary of
Energy, through the Nevada Test Site Operations Office, shall carry out

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

This Act may be cited as the ''Disease Research Revitalization Act
of 2001''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

The Congress finds as follows:
(1) Past investments in cancer and Alzheimer's disease
research have resulted in better health, an improved quality of
life for all Americans, and a reduction in national health care
expenditures.
(2) The Nation's commitment to cancer and Alzheimer's
disease research has expanded the base of scientific knowledge
about health and disease and revolutionized the practice of
medicine.
(3) The Federal Government is the single largest
contributor to medical research conducted in the United States.
(4) Research continues to play a vital role in the growth
of this Nation's biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries.
(5) The origin of many of the new drugs and procedures
currently in use is based on cancer and Alzheimer's disease
research supported by the National Institutes of Health.
(6) Unless we make a new commitment to cancer and
Alzheimer's disease research, one out of two American alive
today will fall victim to one or both of these diseases.
(7) Neurodegenerative diseases of the elderly, such as
Alzheimer's disease, threaten to destroy the lives of millions
of Americans, overwhelm the Nation's health care system, and
bankrupt the Medicare and Medicaid programs.
(8) Cancer is the second leading cause of death, and
552,000,000 Americans will die from the disease this year. This
year, doctors will tell 1,200,000 Americans they have cancer.
(9) Women have traditionally been underrepresented in
medical research protocols, yet are severely affected by
diseases including breast cancer, which will kill over 43,900
women this year. Ovarian cancer will claim another 14,500
lives.
(10) Approximately one out of every six American men will
develop prostate cancer, and over 49,200 men will die from the
disease each year.
(11) Four million Americans currently suffer from
Alzheimer's disease and another 360,000 will be diagnosed with
the disease this year. Alzheimer's disease is the fourth
leading cause of death in adults.
(12) As the population of this Nation grows older, the
number of Americans diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease could
double.
(13) The mapping and sequencing of the entire human genome
will lead to a new era of molecular medicine that will provide
unprecedented opportunities for the prevention, diagnosis,
treatment, and cure of diseases that currently plague society.
(14) The fundamental way science is conducted is changing
at a revolutionary pace, demanding a far greater investment in
emerging new technologies and research training programs, and
in developing new skills among scientific investigators.
(15) Research about prevention and early diagnosis of
cancer and Alzheimer's disease may result in significantly
reducing the incidence of these two diseases.
(16) Most Americans show overwhelming support for an
increased Federal investment in cancer and Alzheimer's disease
research and researchers now have unprecedented opportunities
to conquer these two diseases.
(17) About 14,600,000 Americans are suffering with asthma,
resulting in over $6,000,000,000 in health care costs each
year.
(18) Almost 5,000,000 children are afflicted with asthma
today and the number continues to rise, making it the leading
child disease in America.
