Whereas in Los Angeles, a black breast cancer patient is 
about 70 percent more likely to die from the disease than 
a white breast cancer patient is likely to die from the dis-
ease;

(1) recognizes the disparity in treatment rates 
of African-American breast cancer patients; 
(2) affirms that this disparity is unacceptable 
and should be addressed;
