RE: copyright questions to listservs

I just noticed HR 2724 IH, has anyone a strong take on this yet? it is interesting that the amendment notice to the Session suggest in the preamble that the purpose is to amend the USC 17 and then it says and for "other purposes".

I wonder is congress required to announce the other purposes? and could any of you suggest what the other purposes might be or mean?
