                   CHAPTER 70--ANIMAL CANCER RESEARCH
 
Sec. 3901. Congressional findings

    Congress finds that--
        (a) basic research on malignant tumors or cancers is essential 
    to protect the health of domestic animals, poultry, and wildlife, 
    including birds;
        (b) carcinogenic agents have not been adequately identified in 
    domestic animals, poultry, and wildlife management;
        (c) basic research in diagnosis, prevention, and control of 
    malignant tumors in animals and birds has not been adequately 
    coordinated;
        (d) significant theories of a common factor in malignant tumors, 
    such as chorionic gonadotropin, have not been pursued in depth;
        (e) research on diagnosis, prevention, and control of cancer in 
    animals and birds will be beneficial in identifying any common 
    factors in human and animal malignant tumors, if such exist; and
        (f) it is imperative for the Department of Agriculture and the 
    National Institutes of Health to coordinate and consult with regard 
    to the research authorized under this chapter to achieve the maximum 
    benefits from such research.
