SECTION 1. STUDIES AND REPORTS BY THE DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE AND THE 
              NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES ON FOOD PRODUCTS FROM CLONED 
              ANIMALS.

    (a) Study by the Department of Agriculture.--
            (1) In general.--The Secretary of Agriculture (referred to 
        in this section as the ``Secretary''), in coordination with the 
        Economic Research Service, and after consultation with the 
        Secretary of Health and Human Services (acting through the 
        Commissioner of Food and Drugs), shall conduct a study on the 
        economic and trade impact of agricultural exports of food 
        products from cloned animals.
            (2) Content of study.--The study under paragraph (1) shall 
        include--
                    (A) an analysis of the domestic agricultural and 
                international trade economic implications of permitting 
                commercialization of milk and meat from cloned animals 
                and their progeny into the food supply, with special 
                attention to--
                            (i) the impact on Federal agricultural 
                        expenditures; and
                            (ii) meat and milk exports shifts that 
                        would take place as other countries react to 
                        that commercialization, including the potential 
                        for other countries to ban exports from the 
                        United States; and
                    (B) estimates of the consumer and exporter 
                behavioral responses that must be factored into both 
                the economic impact analysis and the health impact 
                analysis required under this section.
    (b) Study With the Government Accountability Office on Monitoring 
Food Products From Cloned Animals.--
            (1) In general.--The Secretary, in coordination with 
        Comptroller General of the United States, shall conduct a study 
        on the programs in place at the Department of Agriculture to 
        monitor food products from cloned animals if such products 
        enter the food supply.
            (2) Content of study.--The study under paragraph (1) shall 
        include an evaluation of the processes in place at the 
        Department of Agriculture to monitor food products from cloned 
        animals throughout the food supply. The study shall also 
        include a review of existing studies and literature, from the 
        United States and other countries and organizations, that 
        relate to the evaluation of the safety of food products from 
        cloned animals and methods for monitoring such products in the 
        food supply.
    (c) Study With the Government Accountability Office on the Health 
Effects and Costs Attributable to Milk From Cloned Animals in the Food 
Supply.--
            (1) In general.--The Secretary, in consultation with the 
        Secretary of Health and Human Services (acting through the 
        Commissioner of Food and Drugs), and in coordination with 
        Comptroller General of the United States, shall conduct a study 
        on the health effects and costs attributable to milk from 
        cloned animals in the food supply.
            (2) Content of study.--The study under paragraph (1) shall 
        include an evaluation and measurement of the potential public 
        health effects and associated health care costs, including any 
        consumer behavior changes and negative impacts on nutrition, 
        and prevention of osteoporosis and other chronic disease that 
        result from any decrease in milk consumption, attributable to 
        the commercialization of milk from cloned animals and their 
        progeny.
    (d) Study With the National Academy of Sciences.--
            (1) In general.--The Secretary shall contract with the 
        National Academy of Sciences to conduct a study and report to 
        Congress regarding the safety of food products derived from 
        cloned animals.
            (2) Content of study.--The study under paragraph (1) shall 
        include a review and an assessment of whether the studies 
        (including peer review studies), data, and analysis used in the 
        draft risk assessment issued by the Food and Drug 
        Administration entitled Animal Cloning: A Draft Risk Assessment 
        (issued on December 28, 2006) supported the conclusions drawn 
        by such draft risk assessment and--
                    (A) whether there were a sufficient number of 
                studies to support such conclusions; and
                    (B) whether additional pertinent studies and data 
                exist which were not considered in the draft risk 
                assessment and how this additional information affects 
                the conclusions drawn in such draft risk assessment.
    (e) Rule of Construction.--Nothing in this section shall be 
construed to impede ongoing scientific research in artificial 
reproductive health technologies.
    (f) Timeframe for Studies.--The Secretary shall complete the 
studies required under this section prior to issuance by the 
Commissioner of Food and Drugs of the final risk assessment on the 
safety of cloned animals and food products derived from cloned animals.
    (g) Continuance of Moratorium.--The voluntary moratorium on 
introducing food from cloned animals or their progeny into the food 
supply, as in effect on the date of enactment of this Act, shall remain 
in effect at least until the date that the Secretary of Health and 
Human Services (acting through the Commissioner of Food and Drugs) 
issues the final risk assessment described in subsection (f).
Directs the Secretary of Agriculture to conduct studies on: (1) the economic and trade impact of exports of food products from cloned animals; (2) Department of Agriculture programs to monitor products from cloned animals in the food supply; (3) the health effects and costs attributable to milk from cloned animals in the food supply; and (4) the safety of food products derived from cloned animals.
