I cross-posted your inquiry to the IRB Discussion Group and received
 this answer for you on Glenn's legislation.

Allan Shipp posted the following on the ARENA mailing list:

As most of you probably know, Sen. Glenn has introduced a bill, S.
193, titled, "The Human Research Subject Protections Act of 1997."
The bill has three main provisions, which are:

1) to apply the Common Rule to all human subjects research (regardless
of source of funding or intent to produce a drug or device) and
provide for criminal sanctions for violations of the act;

2) to prohibit federal funding of any classified research that has not
been reviewed by an IRB; and

3) to move OPRR out of the NIH into the Office of the HHS Secretary,
and rename it the Office for Protection of Research Subjects.

The full text of the bill can be obtained through "Thomas" by
