       Sec. 2801. For purposes of Section 201 of the Drug Price 
     Competition and Patent Term Restoration Act, commonly known 
     as the Hatch-Waxman Act (35 U.S.C. 156), a patent which 
     claims an elemental biologic used in manufacturing a product 
     shall be eligible for an extension of its term on the same 
     terms and conditions as other patents eligible under such 
     Section, except that: (1) under 35 U.S.C. 156(a)(4), the 
     product manufactured using such elemental biologic, rather 
     than such elemental biologic, shall have been subject to a 
     regulatory review period before its commercial marketing or 
     use; and (2) an application for extension of term may be 
     submitted within the sixty-day period beginning on the date 
     of enactment of this section or within the sixty-day period 
     beginning on the date the patent becomes eligible for 
     extension under this section. For purposes of this section, 
     the term ``elemental biologic'' means a genetically 
     engineered cell, or method of making thereof, used in 
     manufacturing five or more new drugs, antibiotic drugs, or 
     human biological products, each subject to a regulatory 
     review period before commercial marketing or use and each 
     receiving permission under the provision of law under which 
     the applicable regulatory review period occurred for 
     commercial marketing or use. To be eligible to apply for a 
     term extension under this section, the owner of record of a 
     patent claiming an elemental biologic must: (1) be a non-
     profit organization as defined by section 201 of title 35; 
     (2) not itself commercially sell the product, and have made 
     reasonable efforts to promote utilization of the patented 
     invention in commercial markets by licensing, on a non-
     exclusive, royalty free or reasonable royalty basis, rights 
     to make, use, offer to sell, or sell the invention; and (3) 
     share any royalties with the inventor, and after payment of 
     expenses (including payments to inventors) incidental to 
     administration of inventions, invest the balance of any 
     royalties or income earned from the invention in scientific 
     research or education. This section shall apply to any patent 
     not yet expired at the time of enactment of this section and 
     to any patent issued thereafter. A timely applicant shall be 
     entitled to a decision by the Commissioner of Patents and 
     Trademarks granting or denying the application prior to such 
     expiration of the patent, or if the Commissioner cannot 
     render such decision prior to such expiration, an extension 
     under section 156(e)(2), Title 35 United States Code, prior 
     to expiration of the patent.
       Sec. 2802. At the end of the first paragraph under the

                                  ____


                           Amendment No. 3379

       Strike the preamble and insert the following:
       Whereas on June 14, 1775, the Second Continental Congress, 
     representing the citizens of 13 American colonies, authorized 
     the establishment of the Continental Army;
       Whereas the collective expression of the pursuit of 
     personal freedom that caused the authorization and 
     organization of the United States Army led to the adoption of 
     the Declaration of Independence and the codification of the 
     new Nation's basic principles and values in the Constitution;
       Whereas for the past 225 years, the Army's central mission 
     has been to fight and win the Nation's wars;
       Whereas whatever the mission, the Nation turns to its Army 
     for decisive victory;
       Whereas the 172 battle streamers carried on the Army flag 
     are testament to the valor, commitment, and sacrifice of the 
     brave soldiers who have served the Nation in the Army;
       Whereas Valley Forge, New Orleans, Mexico City, Gettysburg, 
     Verdun, Bataan, Normandy, Pusan, the Ia Drang Valley, 
     Grenada, Panama, and Kuwait are but a few of the places where 
     soldiers of the United States Army have won extraordinary 
     distinction and respect for the Nation and its Army;
       Whereas the motto of ``Duty, Honor, Country'' is the creed 
     by which the American soldier lives and serves;
       Whereas the United States Army today is the world's most 
     capable and respected ground force;
       Whereas future Army forces are being prepared to conduct 
     quick, decisive, highly sophisticated operations anywhere, 
     anytime; and
       Whereas no matter what the cause, location, or magnitude of 
     future conflicts, the Nation can rely on its Army to produce 
     well-trained, well-led, and highly motivated soldiers to 
     carry out the missions entrusted to them: Now, therefore, be 
     it
                                  ____
