[From the U.S. Government Publishing Office]
[H.R. 3723 Engrossed Amendment Senate (EAS)]
In the Senate of the United States,
September 18, 1996.
Resolved, That the bill from the House of Representatives (H.R.
3723) entitled ``An Act to amend title 18, United States Code, to
protect proprietary economic information, and for other purposes.'', do
pass with the following
AMENDMENT:
Strike out all after the enacting clause and insert:
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the ``Economic Espionage Act of 1996''.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS AND PURPOSES.
(a) Findings.--Congress finds that--
(1) sustaining a healthy and competitive national economy
is imperative;
(2) the development and production of proprietary economic
information involves every aspect of interstate commerce and
business;
(3) the development, production, protection, and lawful
exchange, sale, and transfer of proprietary economic
information is essential to maintaining the health and
competitiveness of interstate commerce and the national
economy;
(4) much proprietary economic information moves in
interstate and foreign commerce and proprietary economic
information that does not move in interstate or foreign
commerce directly and substantially affects proprietary
economic information that does;
(5) the theft, wrongful destruction or alteration,
misappropriation, and wrongful conversion of proprietary
economic information substantially affects and harms interstate
commerce, costing United States firms, businesses, industries,
and consumers millions of dollars each year; and
(6) enforcement of existing State laws protecting
proprietary economic information is frustrated by the ease with
which stolen or wrongfully appropriated proprietary economic
information is transferred across State and national
boundaries.
(b) Purpose.--The purpose of this Act is--
(1) to promote the development and lawful utilization of
United States proprietary economic information produced for, or
placed in, interstate and foreign commerce by protecting it
from theft, wrongful destruction or alteration,
misappropriation, and conversion; and
(2) to secure to authors and inventors the exclusive right
to their respective writings and discoveries.
