        Higgins landing craft (LCPs, LCPLs, LCVPs, LCMs and LCSs);
            (3) Andrew Jackson Higgins designed, engineered, and
        constructed 4 major assembly line plants in New Orleans for
        mass production of Higgins landing craft, and other vessels
        vital to the Allied Forces' conduct of World War II;
            (4) Andrew Jackson Higgins bought the entire 1940
        Philippine mahogany crop and other material purely at risk
        without a Government contract, anticipating that America would
        join World War II and that Higgins Industries would need the
        wood to build landing craft, and Higgins also bought steel,
        engines, and other material necessary to construct landing
        craft;
            (5) Andrew Jackson Higgins, through Higgins Industries,
        employed a fully integrated assembly line work force, black and
        white, male and female, of up to 30,000 during World War II,
        with equal pay for equal work;
            (6) in 1939, the United States Navy had a total of 18
        landing craft in the fleet;
            (7) from November 18, 1940, when Higgins Industries was
        awarded its first contract for Higgins landing craft until the
        conclusion of the war, the employees of Higgins Industries
        produced 12,300 Landing Craft Vehicle Personnel (LCVP's) and
        nearly 8,000 other landing craft of all types;
            (8) during World War II, Higgins Industries employees
        produced 20,094 boats, including landing craft and Patrol
        Torpedo boats, and trained 30,000 Navy, Marine, and Coast Guard
        personnel on the safe operation of landing craft at the
        Higgins' Boat Operators School;
            (9) on Thanksgiving Day 1944, General Dwight D. Eisenhower
        stated in an address to the Nation, ``Let us thank God for
        Higgins Industries, management, and labor which has given us
        the landing boats with which to conduct our campaign.'';
            (10) Higgins landing craft, constructed of wood and steel,
        transported fully armed troops, light tanks, field artillery,
        and other mechanized equipment essential to amphibious
        operations;
            (11) Higgins landing craft made the amphibious assault on
        D-day and the landings at Leyte, North Africa, Guadalcanal,
        Sicily, Iwo Jima, Tarawa, Guam, and thousands of less well-
        known assaults possible;
            (12) Captain R.R.M. Emmett, a commander at the North Africa
        amphibious landing, and later commandant of the Great Lakes
        Training Station, wrote during the war, ``When the history of
        this war is finally written by historians, far enough removed
        from its present turmoil and clamor to be cool and impartial, I
        predict that they will place Mr. (Andrew Jackson) Higgins very
        high on the list of those who deserve the commendation and
        gratitude of all citizens.''; and
            (13) in 1964, President Dwight D. Eisenhower told historian
        Steven Ambrose, ``He (Higgins) is the man who won the war for
        us. If Higgins had not developed and produced those landing
        craft, we never could have gone in over an open beach. We would
        have had to change the entire strategy of the war.''.

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Crime Victims with Disabilities Act
of 2006''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds the following:
            (1) Adults with disabilities experience violence or abuse
        at least twice as often as people without disabilities.
            (2) Women with disabilities are more likely to be
        victimized, to experience more severe and prolonged violence,
        and to suffer more serious and chronic effects from that
        violence, than women without such disabilities.
            (3) An estimated 5,000,000 crimes are committed against
        individuals with developmental disabilities annually.
            (4) Over 70 percent of crimes committed against individuals
        with developmental disabilities are not reported.

SEC. 3. PURPOSE.

    (a) In General.--The purpose of this Act is to increase the
awareness, investigation, prosecution, and prevention of crimes against
individuals with a disability, including developmental disabilities,
and improve services to those who are victimized, by facilitating
collaboration among the criminal justice system and a range of agencies
and other organizations that provide services to individuals with
disabilities.
    (b) Need for Collaboration.--Collaboration among the criminal
justice system and agencies and other organizations that provide
services to individuals with disabilities is needed to--
            (1) protect individuals with disabilities by ensuring that
        crimes are reported, and that reported crimes are actively
        investigated by both law enforcement agencies and agencies and
        other organizations that provide services to individuals with
        disabilities;
            (2) provide prosecutors with adequate training to ensure
        that crimes against individuals with disabilities are
        appropriately and effectively addressed in court; and
            (3) promote communication among criminal justice agencies,
        and agencies and other organizations that provide services to
        individuals with disabilities, including Victim Assistance
        Organizations, to ensure that the needs of crime victims with
        disabilities are met.

Input:
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Compassionate Pain Relief Act''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds that--
            (1) cancer is a progressive, degenerative, and often
        painful disease that afflicts one out of every four persons in
        the United States and is the second leading cause of death;
            (2) in the progression of terminal cancer, a significant
        number of patients experience levels of intense and intractable
        pain that cannot be effectively treated by presently available
        medication;
            (3) the effect of such pain often leads to a severe
        deterioration in the quality of life of the patient and
        heartbreak for the family of the patient;
            (4) the therapeutic use of parenteral diacetylmorphine is
        not permitted in the United States but extensive clinical
        research has demonstrated that the drug is a potent, highly
        soluble painkilling drug when properly formulated and
        administered under the supervision of a physician;
            (5) it is in the public interest to make parenteral
        diacetylmorphine available to patients through controlled
        channels as a drug for the relief of intractable pain due to
        terminal cancer;
            (6) diacetylmorphine is successfully used in Great Britain
        and other countries for relief of pain due to cancer;
            (7) the availability of parenteral diacetylmorphine for the
        limited purposes of controlling intractable pain due to
        terminal cancer will not adversely affect the abuse of illicit
        drugs or increase the incidence of pharmacy thefts;
            (8) the availability of parenteral diacetylmorphine will
        enhance the ability of physicians to effectively treat and
        control intractable pain due to terminal cancer; and
            (9) it is appropriate for the Federal Government to
        establish a temporary program to permit the use of
        pharmaceutical dosage forms of parenteral diacetylmorphine for
        the control of intractable pain due to terminal cancer.

SEC. 3. PARENTERAL DIACETYLMORPHINE PROGRAM.

    Title III of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 241 et seq.)
is amended by adding at the end the following new part:

        cancer with a high and predictable mortality.
    ``(b) Manufacturing.--Regulations established under this section

                diacetylmorphine, a significant need is shown for such
                provision, and adequate protection is available against
                the diversion of parenteral diacetylmorphine.
    ``(d) Illicit Diversion.--Regulations established by the Secretary
under this section shall be designed to protect against the diversion
into illicit channels of parenteral diacetylmorphine distributed under
the program.
    ``(e) Prescription by Physicians.--Regulations established under
