SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE; FINDINGS.

    (a) Short Title.--This Act may be cited as the ``Federal Asthma
Assessment and State Tracking Act of 2002'' (FAAST Act).
    (b) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
            (1) Asthma summary.--Asthma is a serious chronic condition
        affecting many Americans. Asthma accounts for an estimated 3
        million lost workdays for adults and 10.1 million lost school
        days in children annually. Over the past 20 years mortality,
        morbidity, and hospital discharge rates attributed to asthma
        have substantially increased. Between 1979 and 1998, the age-
        adjusted mortality rate increased 56 percent while the
        prevalence rate increased by almost 22 percent in males and 97
        percent in females between 1982 and 1996.
            (2) Race-specific prevalence.--In 1996, the prevalence rate
        of asthma in whites was 53.5 per 1,000 persons while the
        prevalence rate in blacks was 69.6 per 1,000 persons. Both of
        these rates represent significant differences from the rates
        reported in 1982, when they were 34.6 and 39.2 for whites and
        blacks, respectively.
            (3) Economic costs of asthma.--Asthma entails an annual
        economic cost to the Nation in direct health care costs of $8.1
        billion; indirect costs (lost productivity) add another $4.6
        billion for a total of $12.7 billion. Inpatient hospital
        services represented the largest single direct medical
        expenditure, over $3.5 billion. The value of reduced
        productivity due to loss of school days represented the largest
        single indirect cost at $1.5 billion.

SEC. 2. ASTHMA SCREENING FOR EARLY HEAD START AND HEAD START PROGRAMS.

    (a) Early Head Start Programs.--Section 645A of the Head Start Act

                that is appropriate for age and risk factors on the
                enrollment of the child in the program; and
                    ``(B) in the case of a child who has not received
                such an asthma screening test, ensures that the
                enrolled child receives such a test either by referral
                or by performing the test (under contract or
                otherwise).
            ``(2) Reimbursement.--

            ``(3) Head start.--This subsection shall apply to Head

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Treat and Reduce Obesity Act of
2017''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) According to the Centers for Disease Control, about 34
        percent of adults aged 65 and over were obese in the period of
        2009 through 2012, representing almost 15 million people.
            (2) Obesity increases the risk for chronic diseases and
        conditions, including high blood pressure, heart disease,
        certain cancers, arthritis, mental illness, lipid disorders,
        sleep apnea, and type 2 diabetes.
            (3) More than half of Medicare beneficiaries are treated
        for 5 or more chronic conditions per year. The rate of obesity
        among Medicare patients doubled from 1987 to 2002, and Medicare
        spending on obese individuals during that time more than
        doubled.
            (4) Men and women with obesity at age 65 have decreased
        life expectancy of 1.6 years for men and 1.4 years for women.
            (5) The direct and indirect cost of obesity is more than
        $450 billion annually.
            (6) On average, a Medicare beneficiary with obesity costs
        $1,964 more than a normal-weight beneficiary.
            (7) The prevalence of obesity among older individuals in
        the United States is growing at a linear rate and, if nothing
        changes, nearly half of the elderly population of the United
        States will have obesity in 2030 according to a Congressional
        Research Report on obesity.

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Smoke Free Mothers and Babies Act of
2006''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) At least 1 out of every 10 pregnant women in the United
        States smokes, which accounts for over 500,000 births per year.
            (2) Tobacco use during pregnancy causes serious harm to the
        fetus. Fetal mortality rates are 35 percent higher among
        pregnant women who smoke than among nonsmokers and the Surgeon
        General reports that a pregnant woman who smokes is 1.5 to 3.5
        times more likely than a non-smoker to have a low birth weight
        baby.
            (3) Studies have found that smoking and exposure to
        secondhand smoke among pregnant women is a major cause of
        miscarriage, stillbirths, and sudden infant death syndrome
        (SIDS).
            (4) Preventing just 1 smoking-related low birth weight baby
        can save more than $40,000 in health care expenditures.
            (5) For every $1 spent on smoking cessation for pregnant
        women, an estimated $3 in neonatal intensive care costs could
        be avoided.
            (6) Such expenditures have a disproportionate impact on
        Medicaid, with estimates indicating that pregnant women on
        Medicaid are 2.5 times more likely to smoke than pregnant women
        not on Medicaid. Smoking-attributable neonatal health care
        costs are estimated to be $1,400,000,000 to $2,000,000,000
        annually, and such costs for Medicaid total almost
        $228,000,000, that is, approximately, $738 per pregnant smoker.
            (7) States this year will collect $21,300,000,000 from the
        Master Settlement Agreement of November 23, 1998, between
        participating tobacco manufacturers and Attorneys General of 46
        States, the District of Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto
        Rico, and 4 territories of the United States, other settlement
        agreements between companies within the tobacco industry and
        the States of Mississippi, Florida, Texas, and Minnesota, and
        tobacco taxes (an increase from $20,000,000,000 in fiscal year
        2005). States are spending only 2.6 percent of their tobacco
        revenue on tobacco prevention and cessation.
            (8) Evidence shows that the cuts States have made in
        tobacco prevention funding since 2002 have slowed or possibly
        stalled recent declines in youth smoking, putting further
        progress at risk.

SEC. 3. PROMOTING CESSATION OF TOBACCO USE BY PREGNANT WOMEN UNDER THE
              MEDICAID PROGRAM.

    (b) Exception From Optional Restriction Under Medicaid Prescription
Drug Coverage.--Section 1927(d)(2) of the Social Security Act (42
U.S.C. 1396r-8(d)(2)) is amended--
            (1) in subparagraph (E), by inserting before the period at

            (1) General cost sharing limitations.--Section 1916 of the
        Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 1396o) is amended in each of
        subsections (a)(2)(B) and (b)(2)(B) by inserting ``, and

    (c) Non-Federal Contributions to Capital Projects.--(1) The
Secretary, acting through the Bureau of Reclamation, may accept
contributed funds from the Upper Division States, or political
subdivisions or organizations with the Upper Division States, pursuant
to agreements that provide for the contributions to be used for capital
projects costs. Such non-Federal contributions shall not exceed
$17,000,000.
    (2) In addition to the contribution described in paragraph (1), the
Secretary of Energy, acting through the Western Area Power
Administration, and the Secretary of the Interior, acting through the
Bureau of Reclamation, may utilize power revenues collected pursuant to
the Colorado River Storage Project Act to carry out the purposes of
this subsection. Such funds shall be treated as reimbursable costs
assigned to power for repayment under section 5 of the Colorado River
Storage Project Act. This additional contribution shall not exceed
$17,000,000. Such funds shall be considered a non-Federal contribution
for the purposes of this Act. The funding authorized by this paragraph
over any 2-fiscal-year period shall be made available in amounts equal

monitoring. No later than the end of fiscal year 2008, the Secretary
shall submit a report on the utilization of power revenues for base
funding to the appropriate Committees of the United States Senate and
the House of Representatives. The Secretary shall also make a
recommendation in such report regarding the need for continued base
funding after fiscal year 2011 that may be required to fulfill the
goals of the Recovery Implementation Programs. Nothing in this Act
shall otherwise modify or amend existing agreements among participants
regarding base funding and depletion charges for the Recovery
Implementation Programs.
    (3) The Western Area Power Administration and the Bureau of
Reclamation shall maintain sufficient revenues in the Colorado River
Basin Fund to meet their obligation to provide base funding in
accordance with paragraph (2). If the Western Area Power Administration
and the Bureau of Reclamation determine that the funds in the Colorado
River Basin Fund will not be sufficient to meet the obligations of

period, the Western Area Power Administration and the Bureau of
Reclamation shall request appropriations to meet base funding
obligations.
    (e) Authority To Retain Appropriated Funds.--At the end of each
fiscal year any unexpended appropriated funds for capital projects
under this Act shall be retained for use in future fiscal years.
Unexpended funds under this Act that are carried over shall continue to
be used to implement the capital projects needed for the Recovery
Implementation Programs.
    (f) Additional Authority.--The Secretary may enter into agreements
and contracts with Federal and non-Federal entities, acquire and
transfer interests in land, water, and facilities, and accept or give
grants in order to carry out the purposes of this Act.
    (g) Indian Trust Assets.--The Congress finds that much of the
potential water development in the San Juan River Basin and in the
Duchesne River Basin (a subbasin of the Green River in the Upper
Colorado River Basin) is for the benefit of Indian tribes and most of
the federally designated critical habitat for the endangered fish
species in the San Juan River Basin is on Indian trust lands, and 2\1/
2\ miles of critical habitat on the Duchesne River is on Indian Trust
Land. Nothing in this Act shall be construed to restrict the Secretary,
acting through the Bureau of Reclamation and the Bureau of Indian
Affairs, from funding activities or capital projects in accordance with
the Federal Government's Indian trust responsibility.
    (h) Termination of Authority.--All authorities provided by this
section for the respective Recovery Implementation Program shall
terminate upon expiration of the current time period for the respective
Cooperative Agreement referenced in section 2(1) unless, at least 1
year prior to such expiration, the time period for the respective
Cooperative Agreement is extended to conform with this Act.

SEC. 4. EFFECT ON RECLAMATION LAW.

    Specifically with regard to the acreage limitation provisions of
Federal reclamation law, any action taken pursuant to or in furtherance
of this title will not--
        (1) be considered in determining whether a district as defined

    390bb) has discharged its obligation to repay the construction cost
    of project facilities used to make irrigation water available for
    delivery to land in the district;
        (2) serve as the basis for reinstating acreage limitation
    provisions in a district that has completed payment of its
    construction obligations; or
        (3) serve as the basis for increasing the construction
    repayment obligation of the district and thereby extending the
    period during which the acreage limitation provisions will apply.

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``21st Century Global Health
Technology Act''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) Applied research and development is a critical
        component of United States leadership in global health.
        Research and innovation can help to break the cycle of aid
        dependency by providing sustainable solutions to long-term
        problems. Research and development for global health is crucial
        for meeting new and emerging challenges, creating efficiencies,
        strengthening health systems, shifting tasks and strengthening
        workforces, and increasing access to health services for the
        most vulnerable. Research suggests that advances in health and
        medical technologies have been the major drivers behind massive
        improvements in health worldwide over the past century,
        resulting in an average increase in life expectancies of 21
        years in low- and middle-income countries between 1960 and
        2002.
            (2) Because of its presence in the field, the United States
        Agency for International Development (USAID) is uniquely placed
        to assess local health conditions, then partner with public and
        private stakeholders to ensure the development and timely
        introduction and scale-up of tools that are culturally
        acceptable, address serious and all-too-common health problems,
        and contribute to the strengthening of health systems. In a
        recent report to Congress, USAID calls health research
        ``integral'' to its ``ability to achieve its health and
        development objectives worldwide'' and states that innovation
        through research allows the agency ``to develop and introduce
        affordable health products and practices and contribute to
        policies appropriate for addressing health-related concerns in
        the developing world''. In 2006, USAID outlined a five-year
        health research strategy: ``Report to Congress: Health-Related
        Research and Development Activities at USAID (HRRD), May
        2006'', with a timeline through 2010.
            (3) Congress notes the interrelated initiatives that USAID
        has taken to advance science, technology, and innovation for
        development, including the Grand Development Challenges, the
        Innovation Fund, Development Innovation Ventures, the
        Development Lab, and the Innovation Fellowship.
            (4) Applied research and development at USAID--
                    (A) facilitates public-private collaboration in the
                development of global health technologies;
                    (B) leverages public and private sector support for
                early stage research and development of health
                technologies to encourage private sector investment in
                late-stage technology development and product
                introduction in developing countries;
                    (C) benefits the United States economy by investing
                in the growing United States global health technology
                sector, which--
                            (i) provides skilled jobs for American
                        workers;
                            (ii) creates opportunities for United
                        States businesses in the development and
                        production of new technologies; and
                            (iii) enhances United States
                        competitiveness in the increasingly
                        technological and knowledge-based global
                        economy; and
                    (D) enhances United States national security by--
                            (i) reducing the risk of pandemic disease;
                        and
                            (ii) contributing to economic development
                        and stability in developing countries.
            (5) Investments by the United States in affordable,
        appropriate health technologies, such as medical devices for
        maternal, newborn, and child care; new vaccines; new vaccine
        technologies and delivery tools; safe injection devices;
        diagnostic tests for infectious diseases; new tools for water,
        sanitation, and nutrition; multipurpose prevention
        technologies; information systems and mobile health and
        information systems; and innovative disease prevention
        strategies--
                    (A) reduce the risk of disease transmission;
                    (B) accelerate access to life-saving global health
                interventions for the world's poor;
                    (C) reduce the burden on local health systems; and
                    (D) have been found by the United States Government
                and the World Health Organization to result in
                significant cost savings for development assistance
                funds.
            (6) Product development partnerships (PDPs) are one model
        that is successfully accelerating research to benefit the
        developing world. PDPs are non-profit, nongovernmental entities
        that work to accelerate the development of new tools to fight
        diseases in resource-poor settings. Typically, PDPs manage
        resources and partnerships from across public, private, and
        philanthropic sectors to drive the development of a full
        pipeline of potential new products that could save and improve
        lives in the developing world. USAID has played a significant
        role in advancing the PDP model through its financial support.
        Over the past decade, the achievements of PDPs have become
        increasingly successful at advancing new products through the
        development pipeline towards registration, product
        introduction, and use.
            (7) Through a cooperative agreement, known as the Health
        Technologies program, USAID supports the development of
        technologies that--
                    (A) maximize the limited resources available for
                global health; and
                    (B) ensure that products and medicines developed
                for use in low-resource settings reach the people that
                need such products and medicines.
        Through the Health Technologies program, 85 technologies have
        been invented, designed, developed, or co-developed, with many
        of these technologies moved to global use and billions of units
        used worldwide. Over its 25-year history, more than 95 private-
        sector collaborators have been involved in the Health
        Technologies program, matching USAID dollars two to one.
            (8) USAID's translational research is complementary to the
        work of other agencies:
                    (A) The Quadrennial Development and Diplomacy
                Review (QDDR) proposes to transition leadership of the
                Global Health Initiative (GHI) to USAID with a target
                date of the end of 2012. A core principle of the GHI is
                ``Research and innovation''.
                    (B) The Presidential Policy Directive on Global
                Development identifies innovation as contributing to
                the resolution of ``long-standing development
                challenges''.
                    (C) The QDDR affirms that ``US leadership in
                science and innovation is often linked to our ability
                to contribute to a safer, healthier, and more stable
                world.''.

Output:
Amends the Lobbying Disclosure Act of 1995 (LDA) to revise the definition of "lobbying activities" (for purposes of a lobbying firm only) to include paid communications campaigns to influence the general public to lobby Congress.

Redefines "lobbying firm" to include a person or entity retained by one or more clients (other than that person or entity) to engage in paid communications campaigns to influence the general public to lobby Congress, and receives income of, or spends or agrees to spend, an aggregate of $100,000 or more for such efforts in any quarterly period.

Defines "paid communications campaigns to influence the general public to lobby Congress" as efforts by a lobbying firm, on behalf of a client, to influence the general public or its segments to contact one or more covered legislative or executive branch officials (or Congress generally) to urge them to take specific action regarding a specific matter. Excludes from the meaning of such communications: (1) any made to the members of the client; or (2) direct mail communications to the general public or its segments made primarily to recruit members to join an organization.

Sets forth LDA registration and reporting requirements of such lobbying firms.
