Question: 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.

''The Secretary is authorized to award grants to, and enter into
contracts with, local educational agencies to pay the Federal share of
the costs of initiating, expanding, and improving physical education
programs for kindergarten through grade 12 students by--
''(1) providing equipment and support to enable students to
actively participate in physical education activities;

Question: SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

This Act may be cited as the ''Neuromyelitis Optica Consortium
Act''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

Congress finds the following:
(1) Neuromyelitis optica (NMO) is a devastating neurologic
disease leading to blindness and paralysis.
(2) There are an estimated 11,000 patients with NMO in the
United States.
(3) Women are affected 7 to 9 times more than men, and a
large proportion of NMO patients are African-American.
(4) The average age at diagnosis is 41 years, but the range
is broad and includes children as young as 2 years of age and
adults as old as 89 years of age.
(5) NMO incurs substantial costs for affected patients and
their families.
(6) The cause of NMO is unknown, but it is hypothesized to
be autoimmune in nature.
(7) More than 90 percent of NMO patients will suffer
recurrent disease and accumulate neurologic disability.
(8) Because of their relatively low overall incidence,
orphan diseases like NMO frequently do not receive sufficient
attention and research funding.
(9) No single institution has a sufficient number of
patients to independently conduct research that will adequately
address the cause of NMO.
(10) There has been no comprehensive study analyzing all
relevant clinical, biological, and epidemiological aspects of
NMO to identify potential risk factors and biomarkers for NMO.
(11) We can apply our understanding of NMO to the study of
other autoimmune diseases, including multiple sclerosis and
systemic lupus erythematosus.

SEC. 3. SENSE OF CONGRESS.

It is the sense of Congress that there is a need--
(1) to establish and coordinate a multicenter research
effort based on collaboration between regional consortia and
governmental and nongovernmental entities in order to--
(A) comprehensively study the causes of NMO; and
(B) identify potential biomarkers of disease
activity; and
(2) to encourage a collaborative effort among academic
medical centers with epidemiological study groups to gather
comprehensive and detailed information for each patient
enrolled in those groups, in order to investigate
environmental, nutritional, and genetic factors with respect
to, and the pathological and epidemiological characteristics
of, NMO.

SEC. 4. ESTABLISHMENT OF THE NATIONAL NEUROMYELITIS OPTICA CONSORTIUM.

Answer:
Neuromyelitis Optica Consortium Act - Expresses the sense of Congress that there is a need to: (1) establish and coordinate a multicenter research effort to comprehensively study the causes of neuromyelitis optica (NMO) and identify potential biomarkers; and (2) encourage a collaborative effort among academic medical centers with epidemiological study groups to investigate environmental, nutritional, and genetic factors with respect to, and the pathological and epidemiological characteristics of, NMO.

Amends the Public Health Service Act to require the Director of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), in coordination with the Director of the National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities, to establish, administer, and coordinate a National Neuromyelitis Optica Consortium to: (1) provide five-year grants to eligible consortia to conduct research regarding the causes of, and the risk factors and biomarkers associated with, NMO; (2) assemble a panel of experts to provide guidance and recommendations for the development of a common study design, standard methods for collecting a minimum data set from study participants, specific analytical methods for examining data, provisions for consensus review of enrolled cases, and an integrated data collection network; and (3) designate a central laboratory to collect, analyze, and aggregate data with respect to funded research and to make such data and analysis available to researchers.

Requires a consortium (a partnership of two or more universities, health care organizations, or government agencies, or any combination of such entities, serving a designated catchment area), to be eligible for a grant, to demonstrate that: (1) it has the capability to enroll as research participants a minimum of 25 individuals with a diagnosis of NMO from the consortium's designated catchment area, and (2) such area does not overlap with the designated catchment area of another consortium already receiving a grant under this Act.
