SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

The Congress finds that--
(1) heart disease and strokes lead to about 2/2\ times as
many deaths among Black Americans (between the ages of 25 and
44) as among White Americans;
(2) diabetes is twice as prevalent among Mexican- and
Puerto Rican-Americans as among White Americans;
(3) Black and Hispanic women account for 73 percent of the
reported cases of AIDS among American women, and the death rate
from AIDS is 9 times higher among Black women than among White
women;
(4) between 1983 and 1985, when the infant mortality rate
among Whites was 9.0 deaths per 1,000 live births, the infant
mortality rate among Blacks was 18.7 and 13.9 among Native
Americans, with similar disparities among rates of low-
birthweight babies;
(5) in 1988, when the rates of death resulting from
homicides was 8 per 100,000 among young (ages 15 to 24) White
males, the rate among young Black males was 59 per 100,000, and
the rates for young Hispanic and Native American males was
roughly 2 to 3 times that of young White males;
(6) biomedical research, including clinical trials for
pharmaceuticals, often has failed to include minorities in the
population being studied or tested, even when it is certain
that minorities will be among the population subject to the
medical condition or receiving the treatment or pharmaceutical
that is being studied or tested;
(7) the percentages of medical professionals, especially
physicians, who are minorities are significantly lower than
their representation in the general population; and
(8) the ratio of physicians to inhabitants of neighborhoods
that are heavily populated by minorities (or low-income
residents) is often much lower than the ratio of physicians to
inhabitants of predominantly White neighborhoods.
