     Compacts of Free Association with the governments of the 
     Federated States of Micronesia, the Republic of the Marshall 
     Islands, and the Republic of Palau (referred to in this 
     section as the ``Compact of Free Association Nations'');

     States and the Compact of Free Association Nations, 
     information on the number of citizens of Compact of Free 
     Association Nations that access the health care programs and 
     services of States, territories of the United States, and 
     local jurisdictions is difficult to quantify; and

     Association Nations and the communities that host the 
     citizens of Compact of Free Association Nations, it is in the 
     interest of the Federal Government to develop a more complete 
     understanding of--

     care services for citizens of Compact of Free Association 
     Nations in the United States;

     citizens of Compact of Free Association Nations and the 
     health care needs of citizens of Compact of Free Association 
     Nations in the United States may change over the 10-year 
     period beginning on the date of enactment of this Act; and
       (C) recommendations for legislative or administrative 
     actions to address the health care needs of citizens of 
     Compact of Free Association Nations in the United States.
       (b) It is the sense of Congress that the Secretary of the 
     Interior should--
       (1) not later than 60 days after the date of enactment of 
     this Act, consult with the heads of other Federal agencies 
     with the necessary expertise and resources for assistance in
