SEC. 3. SENSE OF CONGRESS.

    It is the sense of Congress that, beginning on the date of 
enactment of this Act and continuing through fiscal year 1995, all Acts 
regarding the authorization or reauthorization of Centers for Disease 
Control and Prevention programs should be authorized only through 
fiscal year 1995. Beginning in fiscal year 1995, Congress should 
reauthorize the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and its 
programs in one comprehensive Act. After fiscal year 1995, 
reauthorization of such Centers and its programs should occur on a 
regular cyclical basis.
