     SEC. 729. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON HEALTH CONCERNS RELATING TO 
                   EXPOSURE TO KNOWN CHEMICAL CARCINOGENS.

       It is the sense of Congress that the Secretary of the Air 
     Force, as part of ongoing efforts to address the cancer and 
     other health concerns raised by members of the Air Force and 
     former members of the Air Force who reported being exposed to 
     known chemical carcinogens while serving at a military 
     installation, should work with Federal and State 
     environmental and health agencies to identify whether higher 
     than expected rates of morbidity and mortality are determined 
     for those members and former members.
