SEC. 2. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON ALLOCATION OF FUNDS AND STAFF UNDER THE 
              REGIONALIZATION PROGRAM OF THE NAVY.

    It is the sense of Congress that the Secretary of the Navy should 
make every effort under the regionalization program of the Navy to 
ensure that--
            (1) the allocation of funds and staff within each region of 
        the program is distributed equally among the various 
        installations located in that region; and
            (2) that no single installation in a region becomes the 
        focal point for funding or staffing.
