An Act
To rename the 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.''.
