SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Oregon Land Exchange Act of 2000''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds that--
        (1) certain parcels of private land located in northeast Oregon
    are intermingled with land owned by the United States and
    administered--
            (A) by the Secretary of the Interior as part of the Central
        Oregon Resource Area in the Prineville Bureau of Land
        Management District and the Baker Resource Area in the Vale
        Bureau of Land Management District; and
            (B) by the Secretary of Agriculture as part of the Malheur
        National Forest, the Wallowa-Whitman National Forest, and the
        Umatilla National Forest;
        (2) the surface estate of the private land described in
    paragraph (1) is intermingled with parcels of land that are owned
    by the United States or contain valuable fisheries and wildlife
    habitat desired by the United States;
        (3) the consolidation of land ownerships will facilitate sound
    and efficient management for both public and private lands;
        (4) the improvement of management efficiency through the land
    tenure adjustment program of the Department of the Interior, which
    disposes of small isolated tracts having low public resource values
    within larger blocks of contiguous parcels of land, would serve
    important public objectives, including--
            (A) the enhancement of public access, aesthetics, and
        recreation opportunities within or adjacent to designated wild
        and scenic river corridors;
            (B) the protection and enhancement of habitat for
        threatened, endangered, and sensitive species within unified
        landscapes under Federal management; and
            (C) the consolidation of holdings of the Bureau of Land
        Management and the Forest Service--
                (i) to facilitate more efficient administration,
            including a reduction in administrative costs to the United
            States; and
                (ii) to reduce right-of-way, special use, and other
            permit processing and issuance for roads and other
            facilities on Federal land;
        (5) time is of the essence in completing a land exchange
    because further delays may force the identified landowners to
    construct roads in, log, develop, or sell the private land and
    thereby diminish the public values for which the private land is to
    be acquired; and
        (6) it is in the public interest to complete the land exchanges
    at the earliest practicable date so that the land acquired by the
    United States can be preserved for--
            (A) protection of threatened and endangered species
        habitat; and
            (B) permanent public use and enjoyment.

        smoke) must be explored. Psychoneuroimmunology and its
        connections between psychological stress, lack of social
        support, and immune compromise, shall be studied.
            (D) Examination shall be given to the full spectrum of
        pathogenesis theories, from those maintaining that HIV is the
        sole and sufficient cause to those considering HIV a primary
        cause together with co-factors to those believing that HIV does
        not necessarily play a causative role.
            (E) A diversity of theories should be developed and tested
        through both laboratory experiments and epidemiological
        research, including careful examination of existing medical
        records of people with HIV and AIDS.
            (F) Researchers shall research epidemiological and blood
        studies of long-term survivors from diverse populations to
        attempt to isolate the factors that have sustained them.
        Subjective evidence, including asking people with AIDS and HIV
        and their care providers what factors they think may be playing
        a role, and how the factors may have interacted, shall be
        collected to supplement, and help to synthesize quantifiable
        data.
            (G) Consideration shall be given to the hypotheses and
        results obtained in other countries, and the best and brightest
        researchers from other countries shall be aggressively pursued
        by the project. This may include agreements by another country
        to reassign particular researchers to the project for an
        indefinite commitment. The project's progress shall not await
        the conclusion of such international agreements.
            (2) The project's study of AIDS pathogenesis and
        manifestations must focus on all populations of people with
        AIDS and HIV. Equal consideration shall be given to the
        differences between these populations as to their similarities
        or ``norms''. This includes women, children, gay men, lesbians,
        people of color (of various affected national-cultural groups),
        injection drug users, hemophiliacs and people with inadequate
        medical care and/or nutrition.
            (3) Basic science investigations and therapeutic results
        shall be geared to people at every point on the spectrum of
        AIDS and HIV--from the sickest to the healthiest. Saving people
        considered ``near death'' must be considered as important as
        early intervention.
            (4) Information generated by the Project shall be made
        freely available to researchers, health care providers, people
        with AIDS and HIV and their advocates as soon as it is
        available, without being inhibited by professional publication
        practices.
            (5) Curatives ultimately released due primarily to project
        research shall not result in financial gain to any private
        organization, and shall be made available to all affected
        people regardless of ability to pay.

SEC. 5. EXTRAORDINARY POWERS.

    In carrying out the project under section 2, the Secretary shall
have extraordinary powers to carry out the following:
            (1)(A) Direct the utilization of any and all existing
        United States Government funded research entities and their
        facilities to clinically test promising cures developed on the
        basis of its research and to direct the manner in which such
        research shall proceed, including staffing, participants,
        location, and timing. Such research shall be funded by the
        project.
            (B) The project shall design its own protocols and work
        with these existing clinical trial programs to develop research
        designs and methods appropriate to the project's goals,
        assuring that data gathered by the NIH would accurately reflect
        the use of these compounds in all populations and stages of
        illness.
            (C) The project shall provide funding for these clinical
        trials of its own compounds. In areas of conflict, the project
        shall have the power to implement its goals.
            (2) Exercise the right of eminent domain to carry out the
        following:
                    (A) Obtain from public and private organizations,
                with just compensation, samples of all potential
                curatives and all data regarding their development
                (including safety and efficacy data) as well as other
                information, materials, or products deemed crucial to
                the Project.
                    (B) Implement clinical testing for potential
                curatives owned by private companies, whether under
                development or not, unless said companies adhere to an
                approved time frame and are forthcoming with their data
                as such work proceeds.
                    (C) Use existing pharmaceutical company facilities
                (with just compensation) for the production of
                promising curatives to be utilized in project research
                and, if effective, to produce such curatives in
                sufficient amounts to be disseminated to all people
                needing them.
                    (D) If a drug company is found to be impeding or
                halting the development of a promising compound, the
                project shall first attempt to work with the company to
                develop the needed timetable for research and trials. A
                company lacking the resources to develop a compound
                shall have the option of selling the compound to the
                project for a just compensation, or allowing portions
                of its development to be undertaken by the project.
                    (E) If, however, a company refuses to cooperate
                with the project by not releasing needed data, or by
                withholding samples of requested compounds, the project
                is authorized to use powers of eminent domain to
                procure samples and data. The project shall have the
                power to obtain the patents of such compounds if, after
                reasonable attempts at cooperation, it finds that a
                company will not develop a promising compound in an
                accelerated fashion. After notification by the project
                that this power will be used, a company shall have 30
                days in which to develop, for the project's approval, a
                plan for accelerated development of the compound to
                avoid losing its patent.

SEC. 6. PLANNING FUNDS.

    Funds shall be allocated immediately to be used for planning of the
project under section 2 (including creating facilities, selection of
staff, funding, structure, and schedules), so that the project can
begin functioning as soon as is possible.

Output:

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Fitness Integrated with Teaching
Kids Act'' or the ``FIT Kids Act''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) Childhood obesity has reached epidemic proportions in
        the United States.
            (2) Obesity-related diseases cost the United States economy
        more than $117,000,000,000 every year.
            (3) The prevalence of overweight children between the ages
        of 6 and 11 years increased from 4.0 percent in 1971-1974 to
        17.5 percent in 2001-2004, and the prevalence of overweight
        adolescents between the ages of 12 and 19 years increased from
        6.1 percent to 17.0 percent.
            (4) More than 9,000,000 children and adolescents between
        the ages of 6 and 19 years are considered overweight on the
        basis of being in the 95th percentile or higher of BMI values
        in the 2000 CDC growth chart for the United States.
            (5) If children do not become more active and healthy, one-
        third of all children born in 2000 or later will suffer from
        diabetes at some point in their lives.
            (6) Of all United States deaths from major chronic disease,
        23 percent are linked to sedentary lifestyles that now begin at
        childhood.
            (7) Adolescents who are overweight have a 70-80 percent
        chance of becoming overweight adults, increasing their risk for
        chronic disease, disability, and death.
            (8) A recent study showed that plaque build-up in the neck
        arteries of children who are obese or those with high
        cholesterol is similar to those levels seen in middle-aged
        adults.
            (9) A decline in physical activity has contributed to the
        unprecedented epidemic of childhood obesity.
            (10) The Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans
        recommend that children engage in 60 minutes or more of
        physical activity each day.
            (11) In a 2005 Government Accountability Office report on
        key strategies to include in programs designed to target
        childhood obesity, ``increasing physical activity'' was
        identified as the most important component in any such program.
            (12) Part of the decline in physical activity has been in
        our Nation's schools, where physical education programs have
        been cut back in the past 2 decades.
            (13) The national standard for physical education frequency
        is 150 minutes per week in elementary school and 225 minutes
        per week in middle school and high school.
            (14) Only 3.8 percent of elementary school, 7.9 percent of
        middle school, and 2.1 percent of high schools provide daily
        physical education or its equivalent for the entire school
        year, and 22 percent of schools do not require students to take
        any physical education at all.
            (15) Among children ages 9 to 13, 61.5 percent do not
        participate in any organized physical activity during out-of-
        school hours.
            (16) Regular physical activity is associated with a
        healthier, longer life and a lower risk of cardiovascular
        disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, obesity, and some
        cancers.
            (17) Research suggests a strong correlation between
        children's fitness and their academic performance as measured
        by grades in core subjects and standardized test scores.
            (18) Approximately 81 percent of adults believe daily
        physical education should be mandatory in schools.
