UNITED STATES INDEPENDENT FILM AND TELEVISION PRODUCTION INCENTIVE ACT 
                                OF 2001

  Mrs. LINCOLN. Madam President, this is a bill I introduced awhile 
back. It is a good way to reinvest in America, looking at our films 
that have gone offshore because of the incredible incentives that other 
nations are giving them. We want to keep our film industry in the 
United States. We want to keep the jobs in the United States, and that 
is why we introduced this bill in order to direct the incentives 
according to the jobs that are created. We are hoping we can move this 
bill along, and we are delighted to have two more cosponsors.
