Directs the Comptroller General (GAO) to report to Congress an analysis of the same issues as, and updating the findings and conclusions of, the GAO report to the Ranking Minority Member of the House Committee on Government Reform of January 1999 entitled "Lead Poisoning: Federal Health Care Programs Are Not Effectively Reaching At-Risk Children" (GAO/HEHS-99-18).
