                         CONCURRENT RESOLUTION


 
    Urging increased Federal funding for juvenile (Type 1) diabetes 
                               research.

<DELETED>Whereas over one million Americans suffer from juvenile (Type 1) 
        diabetes, a chronic, genetically determined, debilitating disease 
        affecting every organ system;
Whereas 13,000 children a year--35 each day--are diagnosed with juvenile 
        diabetes;
Whereas 17,000 adults a year--46 each day--are diagnosed with juvenile diabetes;
Whereas juvenile diabetes is one of the most costly chronic diseases of 
        childhood;
Whereas insulin treats but does not cure this potentially deadly disease and 
        does not prevent the complications of diabetes, which include blindness, 
        heart attack, kidney failure, stroke, nerve damage, and amputations;
Whereas the Diabetes Research Working Group, a nonpartisan advisory board 
        established to advise Congress, has called for an accelerated and 
        expanded diabetes research program at the National Institutes of Health 
        and has recommended a $4.1 billion increase in Federal funding for 
        diabetes research at the National Institutes of Health over the next 
        five years; and
Whereas a strong public-private partnership to fund juvenile diabetes exists 
        between the Federal Government and the Juvenile Diabetes Foundation, a 
        foundation which has awarded more than $326 million for diabetes 
        research since 1970 and will give $100 million in fiscal year 2001: Now, 
        therefore, be it
    </DELETED>Whereas over one million Americans suffer from juvenile 
            (type 1) diabetes, a chronic, genetically determined, 
            debilitating disease affecting every organ system;
    Whereas 13,000 children a year--35 each day--are diagnosed with 
            juvenile diabetes;
    Whereas 17,000 adults a year--46 each day--are diagnosed with 
            juvenile diabetes;
    Whereas juvenile diabetes is one of the most costly chronic 
            diseases of childhood;
    Whereas insulin treats but does not cure this potentially deadly 
            disease and does not prevent the complications of diabetes, 
            which include blindness, heart attack, kidney failure, 
            stroke, nerve damage, and amputations; and
    Whereas the Diabetes Research Working Group, a nonpartisan advisory 
            board established to advise Congress, has called for an 
            accelerated and expanded diabetes research program at the 
            National Institutes of Health and has recommended an 
            increase in Federal funding for diabetes research at the 
            National Institutes of Health over each of the next five 
            years: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), 
<DELETED>That Federal funding for diabetes research should be increased 
in accordance with the recommendations of the Diabetes Research Working 
Group so that a cure for juvenile diabetes can be found.
</DELETED>That Federal funding for diabetes research should be 
increased annually as recommended by the Diabetes Research Working 
Group so that a cure for juvenile diabetes can be found.

            Amend the title so as to read: ``A concurrent resolution 
        urging increased Federal funding for juvenile (type 1) diabetes 
        research.''.
