 To rename the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development 
  as the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and 
                           Human Development.

    Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the 
United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. EUNICE KENNEDY SHRIVER NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF CHILD HEALTH 
AND HUMAN DEVELOPMENT.
    (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
        (1) Since it was established by Congress in 1962 at the request 
    of President John F. Kennedy, the National Institute of Child 
    Health and Human Development has achieved an outstanding record of 
    achievement in catalyzing a concentrated attack on the unsolved 
    health problems of children and of mother-infant relationships by 
    fulfilling its mission to--
            (A) ensure that every individual is born healthy and 
        wanted, that women suffer no harmful effects from reproductive 
        processes, and that all children have the chance to achieve 
        their full potential for healthy and productive lives, free 
        from disease or disability; and
            (B) ensure the health, productivity, independence, and 
        well-being of all individuals through optimal rehabilitation.
        (2) The National Institute of Child Health and Human 
    Development has made unparalleled contributions to the advancement 
    of child health and human development, including significant 
    efforts to--
            (A) reduce dramatically the rates of Sudden Infant Death 
        Syndrome, infant mortality, and maternal HIV transmission;
            (B) develop the Haemophilus Influenza B (Hib) vaccine, 
        credited with nearly eliminating the incidence of mental 
        retardation; and
            (C) conduct intramural research, support extramural 
        research, and train thousands of child health and human 
        development researchers who have contributed greatly to 
        dramatic gains in child health throughout the world.
        (3) The vision, drive, and tenacity of one woman, Eunice 
    Kennedy Shriver, was instrumental in proposing, passing, and 
    enacting legislation to establish the National Institute of Child 
    Health and Human Development (Public Law 87-838) on October 17, 
    1962.
        (4) It is befitting and appropriate to recognize the 
    substantial achievements of Eunice Kennedy Shriver, a tireless 
    advocate for children with special needs, whose foresight in 
    creating the National Institute of Child Health and Human 
    Development gave life to the words of President Kennedy, who wished 
    to ``encourage imaginative research into the complex processes of 
    human development from conception to old age.''.
