Sec. 290e. Congressional declaration of policy

    The Congress of the United States, recognizing that the diseases of 
mankind, because of their widespread prevalence, debilitating effects, 
and heavy toll in human life, constitute a major deterrent to the 
efforts of many peoples to develop their economic resources and 
productive capacities, and to improve their living conditions, declares 
it to be the policy of the United States to continue and strengthen 
mutual efforts among the nations for research against diseases such as 
heart disease and cancer. In furtherance of this policy, the Congress 
invites the World Health Organization to initiate studies looking toward 
the strengthening of research and related programs against these and 
other diseases common to mankind or unique to individual regions of the 
globe.
