species of forest songbirds and supports thousands of wintering
waterfowl;

furbearers, such as mink and bobcats;
(5) conservation and enhancement of this area through inclusion
in the National Wildlife Refuge System would help meet the habitat
conservation goals of the North American Waterfowl Management Plan;
(6) these forested wetlands represent one of the most valuable
and productive wildlife habitat types in the United States, and
have extremely high recreational value for hunters, anglers,
birdwatchers, nature photographers, and others; and

TITLE I--AMENDMENTS TO THE CIVIL RIGHTS ACT OF 1964

SEC. 101. FINDINGS; PURPOSES.

(a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
(1) Women with infants and toddlers are a rapidly growing
segment of the labor force today.
(2) Statistical surveys of families show that over 50
percent of mothers with children less than 1 year of age are in
the labor force.
(3) The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that
mothers breastfeed exclusively for six months but continuing
for at least the 1st year of a child's life and that
arrangements be made to allow a mother's expressing of milk if
mother and child must separate.
(4) Research studies show that children who are not
breastfed have higher rates of mortality, meningitis, some
types of cancers, asthma and other respiratory illnesses,
bacterial and viral infections, diarrhoeal diseases, ear
infections, allergies, and obesity.
(5) Research studies have also shown that breastmilk and
breastfeeding have protective effects against the development
of a number of chronic diseases, including juvenile diabetes,
lymphomas, Crohn's disease, celiac disease, some chronic liver
diseases, and ulcerative colitis.
(6) Maternal benefits of breastfeeding include a reduced
risk for postpartum hemorrhage and decreased risk for
developing osteoporosis, ovarian cancer, and premenopausal
breast cancer.
(7) The health benefits to children from breastfeeding
translate into a threefold decrease in parental absenteeism due
to infant illness.
(8) Congress intended to include breastfeeding and
expressing breast milk as protected conduct under the amendment
made by the Pregnancy Discrimination Act of 1978 to title VII
of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
(9) Although title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as
so amended, applies with respect to ''pregnancy, childbirth, or
related medical conditions'', a few courts have failed to reach
the conclusion that breastfeeding and expressing breast milk in
the workplace are covered by such title.
(b) Purposes.--The purposes of this title are--
(1) to promote the health and well-being of infants whose
mothers return to the workplace after childbirth, and
(2) to clarify that breastfeeding and expressing breast
milk in the workplace are protected conduct under the amendment
made by the Pregnancy Discrimination Act of 1978 to title VII
of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

SEC. 102. AMENDMENTS TO TITLE VII OF THE CIVIL RIGHTS ACT OF 1964.

Section 701(k) of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (42 U.S.C. 2000e(k))
is amended--
(1) by inserting ''(including lactation)'' after
''childbirth'', and
(2) by adding at the end the following: ''For purposes of
this subsection, the term 'lactation' means a condition that
may result in the feeding of a child directly from the breast
or the expressing of milk from the breast.''.

TITLE II--CREDIT FOR EMPLOYER EXPENSES FOR PROVIDING APPROPRIATE
ENVIRONMENT ON BUSINESS PREMISES FOR EMPLOYED MOTHERS TO BREASTFEED OR
