            (2) in section 1503, by adding at the end the following:

            ``(1) In general.--The Secretary may waive the requirements

                leverage private funds to supplement each of the

                of the services or activities described in paragraphs 
                (1) and (2) of section 1501(a), including screening 
                procedures for both breast and cervical cancers; and

                activities described in paragraphs (1) and (2) of 
                section 1501(a).

                    ``(A) In general.--In granting waivers under 
                paragraph (1), the Secretary--
                            ``(i) shall grant such waivers for a period 
                        of 2 years; and

                paragraph (1), shall, at the end of each 2-year waiver 
                period described in subparagraph (A), review 
                performance under the waiver and may extend the waiver 
                for an additional 2-year period if the Secretary finds 
                that--
