Childrens' [sic] Internet Protection Act


SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Fitness Integrated with Teaching
Kids Act'' or the ``FIT Kids Act''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds the following:
            (1) Childhood obesity has reached epidemic proportions in
        the United States.
            (2) Researchers estimate that medical costs of the obesity
        epidemic may total as much as $147,000,000,000 annually.
            (3) The prevalence of overweight in children between the
        ages of 6 and 11 years increased from 4.0 percent between 1971
        to 1974 to 17.5 percent between 2001 to 2004, and the
        prevalence of overweight in adolescents between the ages of 12
        and 19 years increased from 6.1 percent to 17.0 percent.
            (4) Recent studies indicating that 17 percent of 6 to 11
        year-olds and 17.6 percent of 12 to 19 year-olds are considered
        obese. Furthermore, 33 percent of 6 to 11 year-olds and 34
        percent of 12 to 19 year-olds are overweight; these rates have
        roughly doubled since 1980.
            (5) Of all United States deaths from major chronic disease,
        23 percent are linked to sedentary lifestyles that now begin at
        childhood.
            (6) Overweight adolescents have a 70 to 80 percent chance
        of becoming overweight adults, increasing their risk for
        chronic disease, disability, and death.
            (7) A decline in physical activity has contributed to the
        unprecedented epidemic of childhood obesity.
            (8) The Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans
        published by the Secretary of Health and Human Services
        recommend that children engage in 60 minutes or more of
        physical activity each day.
            (9) In a 2005 Government Accountability Office report on
        key strategies to include in programs designed to target
        childhood obesity, ``increasing physical activity'' was
        identified as the most important component in any such program.
            (10) Part of the decline in physical activity has been in
        our Nation's schools, where physical education programs have
        been cut back in the past 2 decades.
            (11) The national standard for physical education
        frequency, as outlined in the Physical Activity Guidelines for
        Americans, is 150 minutes per week in elementary school and 225
        minutes per week in middle school and high school.
            (12) Only 3.8 percent of elementary schools, 7.9 percent of
        middle schools, and 2.1 percent of high schools provide daily
        physical education or its equivalent for the entire school
        year, and 22 percent of schools do not require students to take
        any physical education at all.
            (13) Among children ages 9 to 13, 61.5 percent do not
        participate in any organized physical activity during out-of-
        school hours.
            (14) Regular physical activity is associated with a
        healthier, longer life and a lower risk of cardiovascular
        disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, obesity, and some
        cancers.
            (15) Research suggests a strong correlation between
        children's fitness and their academic performance as measured
        by grades in core subjects and standardized test scores.
            (16) Approximately 81 percent of adults believe daily
        physical education should be mandatory in schools.

SEC. 3. INCREASING AWARENESS OF PHYSICAL ACTIVITY OPPORTUNITIES AT
              SCHOOL.

    (a) Local Educational Agencies.--Not later than 1 year after the
date of the enactment of this Act, and annually thereafter, each local
educational agency located in a State receiving funds under part A of

                Department of Health and Human Services; and
                    (E) a description of the amount of time that
                students in kindergarten through grade 12 served by the
                agency are required to spend in physical education,
                disaggregated by grade level, including information on
                criteria for granting students a waiver or exemption,
                or allowing a substitution for the requirement; and
            (2) assist each school served by the agency in collecting
        and disseminating (such as through the Internet website of the
        school) to parents and families of students enrolled in the

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Ebola Emergency Response Act''.

SEC. 2. SENSE OF CONGRESS.

    It is the sense of Congress that--
            (1) the current outbreak of the Ebola virus disease in West
        Africa poses severe health, economic, and security threats to
        the countries affected by the outbreak of the Ebola virus
        disease, the United States, and the broader international
        community; and
            (2) the whole-of-government response taken by the United
        States provides unique capabilities that are critical to
        effectively helping contain the Ebola virus disease in West
        Africa, yet the United States alone will not succeed in
        containing the Ebola virus disease.

SEC. 3. STATEMENTS OF POLICY.

    It shall be the policy of the United States to--
            (1) support a robust international response to the Ebola
        virus disease in West Africa by undertaking a range of
        activities to immediately help detect, contain, treat, and
        deter the further spread of the disease;
            (2) support the efforts of governments of affected
        countries and of local, regional, and international
        nongovernmental organizations and civil society organizations
        working on the front lines of the response to the Ebola virus
        disease; and
            (3) work with appropriate security sector personnel engaged
        in the response to the Ebola virus disease in Guinea, Liberia,
        and Sierra Leone, as well as with civil society, regional
        organizations, and the United Nations to enhance border
        security and create a secure operating environment for health
        workers and other responders and the communities they are
        serving, including by repurposing, as necessary and
        appropriate, existing United States security assistance
        provided to the affected countries to address immediate border
        security and law enforcement needs.

SEC. 4. INTERNATIONAL EFFORTS TO CONTROL THE OUTBREAK OF THE EBOLA
              VIRUS DISEASE.

    In carrying out the policy under section 3, the President shall--
            (1) seek to coordinate with the governments of countries of
        Africa affected by or at risk of being affected by the outbreak
        of the Ebola virus disease, other donors, the private sector,
        regional and international financial institutions, local,
        regional, and international organizations, civil society, and
        local, regional, and nongovernmental organizations,
        particularly organizations that possess experience in emergency
        relief and infection control, to devise and implement a
        coherent, comprehensive strategy to control the Ebola virus
        disease and assist affected populations, utilizing all
        necessary and appropriate assets and capabilities of the United
        States Government; and
            (2) direct the United States Permanent Representative to
        the United Nations to use the voice, vote, and influence of the
        United States at the United Nations to--
                    (A) ensure that the United Nations Mission in
                Liberia is fully protecting individuals under its care
                from exploitation and abuse, including by soldiers
                serving under its command, and, within its capabilities
                and in the context of its mandate to help solidify
                peace and stability while protecting civilians in
                Liberia, plays an active role in the emergency
                response, including by providing logistics and
                engineering support, as well as securing border
                crossings, state institutions, and treatment
                facilities, as necessary and appropriate; and
                    (B) ensure that the United Nations Mission for the
                Ebola Emergency Response (UNMEER) plays an effective
                role in aligning donors around a single strategic
                operating plan to detect, contain, treat, and deter the
                further spread of Ebola, and that the associated costs
                for its work are offset by decreases elsewhere in the
                general budget of the United Nations.

SEC. 5. ASSISTANCE TO COUNTRIES AFFECTED BY THE OUTBREAK OF THE EBOLA
              VIRUS DISEASE.

Mission in Liberia is protecting individuals under its care and playing an active emergency response role, and ensuring that the U. N. Mission for the Ebola Emergency Response (UNMEER) is playing an effective role in aligning donors around a plan to detect, contain, treat, and deter Ebola's further spread. Authorizes the President to provide specified emergency assistance to countries directly affected by or at imminent risk of being affected by the Ebola outbreak. Expresses the sense of Congress that the President should work with other donors, including international financial institutions, to encourage them to: (1) help the governments of Guinea, Liberia, and Sierra Leone mitigate the risks of economic collapse and related civil unrest by providing access to emergency grants and financing tools to address fiscal issues that are the direct result of the Ebola crisis, and (2) assist with post-crisis economic recovery.

U.S.C. 401(d)) is amended to read as follows:
    ``(d)(1) Subject to paragraphs (2) and (3), it shall be the duty of
the Managing Trustee to invest such portion of the Trust Funds as is
not, in the judgment of the Trustee, required to meet current
withdrawals. The Managing Trustee may purchase interest-bearing
obligations of the United States or obligations guaranteed as to both
principal and interest by the United States, on original issue or at
the market price.
    ``(2)(A) If the Managing Trustee, after consultation with the
Commissioner of Social Security, determines that the purchase of
obligations issued in accordance with paragraph (4) is in the best
interest of paying current and future benefits under this title, and
will not jeopardize the payment of such benefits, the Managing Trustee
may purchase such obligations.
    ``(B) If the Commissioner of Social Security does not concur with
the investment decisions of the Managing Trustee, or believes that
other investment strategies are appropriate, the Commissioner shall
promptly so inform the President and Congress in writing.
    ``(3) In investing contributions made to the Trust Funds, the
Managing Trustee may not invest such contributions in private financial
markets. Neither the Managing Trustee nor any other officer or employee
of the Federal Government shall direct private pension plans as to what
type of investments to make or in which financial markets to invest.
    ``(4) The purposes for which obligations of the United States may
be issued under chapter 31 of title 31, United States Code, are hereby
extended to authorize the issuance at par of public-debt obligations
for purchase by the Trust Funds. Such obligations issued for purchase
by the Trust Funds shall have maturities fixed with due regard for the
needs of the Trust Funds and shall bear interest at a rate equal to the
average market yield (computed by the Managing Trustee on the basis of
market quotations as of the end of the calendar month next preceding
the date of such issue) on all marketable interest-bearing obligations
of the United States then forming a part of the public debt which are
not due or callable until after the expiration of four years from the
end of such calendar month; except that where such average market yield
is not a multiple of one-eighth of 1 percent, the rate of interest of
such obligations shall be the multiple of one-eighth of 1 percent
nearest such market yield. Each obligation issued for purchase by the
Trust Funds under this subsection shall be evidenced by a paper
instrument in the form of a bond, note, or certificate of indebtedness
issued by the Secretary of the Treasury setting forth the principal
amount, date of maturity, and interest rate of the obligation, and
stating on its face that the obligation shall be incontestable in the
hands of the Trust Fund to which it is issued, that the obligation is
supported by the full faith and credit of the United States, and that
the United States is pledged to the payment of the obligation with
respect to both principal and interest.''.
