SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``White House Conference on Autism Act
of 2009''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    The Congress finds the following:
            (1) Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) are the fastest-growing
        serious developmental disability in the U.S. occurring in all
        racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic groups.
            (2) According to the Centers for Disease Control and
        Prevention's Autism and Disabilities Monitoring Network the
        rate of Autism in the United States has exploded from an
        estimated 1 in 10,000 during the 1980s to a the current rate of
        1 in 150 demonstrating that the United States is facing an
        literal epidemic of autism.
            (3) The epidemic shows no sign of slowing as a new case of
        autism is diagnosed almost every 20 minutes.
            (4) More children will be diagnosed with autism this year
        than with AIDS, diabetes, and cancer combined.
            (5) Autism costs the Nation over $35,000,000,000 per year,
        a figure expected to significantly increase in the next decade.
            (6) Autism is a life changing condition not a life
        threatening condition. Our Nation's educational, labor, housing
        and medical communities are ill-equipped and undertrained to
        handle a generation of autism individuals.
            (7) In the long-term, this autism epidemic could
        potentially deprive our Nation of a huge pool of future
        military, industrial, medical, and scientific talent.
            (8) Although autism spectrum disorders are an urgent
        societal concern and comprehensive research is the best hope
        for understanding the causes of autism and other developmental
        disorders, autism receives less than 5 percent of the Federal
        research funding of many less prevalent childhood diseases.
            (9) In December 2006, Congress passed and President Bush
        signed into law the ``Combating Autism Act of 2006,'' which
        committed nearly $1,000,000,000 to autism research, including
        essential research on environmental factors, treatments, and
        early identification and support services.
            (10) A White House Conference on Autism presents an
        historic opportunity to build on the foundation of the
        Combating Autism Act to advance the scientific study and
        analysis of many promising cutting-edge treatments and services
        for autism.

SEC. 3. AUTHORIZATION OF THE CONFERENCE.

    (a) Authority To Call Conference.--Not later than December 31,
2010, the President shall call the White House Conference on Autism (in

ways to combat the autism epidemic in the United States and to
implement the purposes set forth in subsection (c).
    (b) Planning and Direction.--The Secretary of Health and Human
Services, the Secretary of Education, and the Secretary of Housing and

    (c) Purposes of the Conference.--The purposes of the Conference are

        the challenges they face on a daily basis;
            (3) bring together the best scientific minds to chart a
        comprehensive research agenda, including the exploration of
        potential environmental triggers or contributors;
            (4) bring together parents of autistic children and leaders
        in the field of education and social services to begin a
        national dialogue about addressing the life-long challenges
        faced by these children and their families;
            (5) highlight emerging and innovative programs from the
        public and private sectors, including community-based and
        faith-based organizations that effectively serve the needs of
        autistic children and adults and recommend such programs as can
        be reasonably and cost-effectively replicated; and
            (6) review the current structure, scope, and effectiveness
        of existing legislation and programs at the Federal, State, and
        local levels that provide autism research services; and to
        develop such specific and comprehensive recommendations for
        legislative action as may be appropriate for improving those

SECTION 1. INTERNATIONAL INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY PROTECTION OBJECTIVES.

    The principal objectives of the United States regarding
international protection of intellectual property rights are--
            (1) to accelerate the full implementation of parts I, II,
        and III of the Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of
        Intellectual Property Rights (hereafter referred to as the
        ``Agreement on TRIPS'');
            (2) to seek enactment and effective implementation by
        foreign countries of standards for protection and enforcement
        of intellectual property rights that supplement and strengthen
        the standards and obligations contained in the Agreement on
        TRIPS and the North American Free Trade Agreement, including,
        but not limited to--
                    (A) supplementing and strengthening such standards
                and obligations through bilateral and multilateral
                agreements to assure the protection of new and emerging
                technologies, and new methods of transmission,
                distribution, and use, and
                    (B) eliminating discrimination, unreasonable
                exceptions, or preconditions with respect to the
                protection, enforcement, or commercial enjoyment of the
                full economic benefits arising from any use or
                exploitation of intellectual property rights;
            (3) to secure fair, equitable, and nondiscriminatory market
        access opportunities for United States persons holding
        intellectual property rights, including rights that are
        currently or that may later be granted by a foreign country to
        its own nationals with respect to the use or exploitation of
        intellectual property;
            (4) to take an active role in the development of the
        intellectual property regime under the World Trade Organization
        (hereafter referred to as the ``WTO''), particularly with
        respect to monitoring implementation of the regime by WTO
        members and use of the WTO dispute settlement procedures;
            (5) to take an active role in the World Intellectual
        Property Organization (hereafter referred to as the ``WIPO'')
        and to ensure that the WIPO and the WTO work together in a
        mutually supportive fashion;
            (6) to establish and maintain a Model Intellectual Property
        Agreement which sets forth a high level of intellectual
        property rights protection and to ensure that all future
        international trade agreements entered into by the United
        States are based on the Model Intellectual Property Agreement;
            (7) to make protection of intellectual property rights a
        priority factor for determining eligibility to participate in
        future free trade agreements and the generalized system of
        preferences;
            (8) to ensure that countries or fast-growing economic
        entities that seek to accede to the WTO agree to full and
        effective implementation of parts I, II, and III of the
        Agreement on TRIPS and resolve any major outstanding
        intellectual property-related issues of concern to the United
        States prior to accession;
            (9) to require that United States diplomatic missions
        abroad include intellectual property rights protection as a
        priority objective of the mission; and
            (10) to take appropriate action, including the
        establishment of technical cooperation committees, to encourage

        intellectual property rights.

        Agreement on TRIPS, and

        States to provide intellectual property rights protection in
        line with the protection set forth in the Model Intellectual
        Property Agreement developed pursuant to section 6.
    (b) Upgrading Existing Free Trade Agreements.--If, after the date
of the enactment of this Act, the United States enters into a free
trade agreement with a foreign country that provides greater protection
of intellectual property rights than a free trade agreement previously
negotiated with another country, the President shall seek to amend such
previously negotiated agreement to provide for such greater protection
of intellectual property rights.
    (c) Notice to Congressional Committees.--The President shall
provide written notice to the Committee on Finance of the Senate and
the Committee on Ways and Means of the House of Representatives of--
            (1) any determination made under subsection (a), and
            (2) any progress made in amending a previously negotiated
        free trade agreement under subsection (b).
