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.

1999''.

(a) Findings.--Congress finds that--
(1) Federal holdings in the State of Nevada constitute over
87 percent of the area of the State, and in 10 of the 17
counties the Federal Government controls at least 80 percent of
the land;
(2) the large amount of federally controlled land in Nevada
and the lack of an adequate private land ownership base has had
a negative impact on the overall economic development of rural
counties and communities and severely degraded the ability of
local governments to provide necessary services;
(3) under general land laws less than 3 percent of the
Federal land in Nevada has moved from Federal control to
private ownership in the last 130 years;
(4) in resource management plans, the Bureau of Land
Management has identified for disposal land that is difficult
and costly to manage and that would more appropriately be in
non-Federal ownership;
(5) implementation of Federal land management plans has
been impaired by the lack of necessary funding to provide the
needed improvements and the lack of land management programs to
accomplish the goals and standards set out in the plans; and
(6) the lack of a private land tax base prevents most local
governments from providing the appropriate infrastructure to
allow timely development of land that is disposed of by the
Federal Government for community expansion and economic growth.

(1) the orderly disposal and use of certain Federal land in
