(1) Congress places a high priority on furnishing high-quality medical
care to veterans through the Department of Veterans Affairs.
(2) Significant numbers of veterans over 65 years of age are afflicted
with Alzheimers' disease, chronic heart disease, diabetes, hypertension,
arthritis, and other serious diseases.
(3) In order to find cures for such diseases it is critical to provide
adequate resources for the conduct of sustained medical research.
(4) Significant medical research is taking place in numerous Department
of Veterans Affairs medical centers around the United States.
(5) Substantially all of the Department of Veterans Affairs medical care
system, including medical research, is financed entirely with Federal
funding, except in limited circumstances.
(6) The Department of Veterans Affairs resources and other Federal
Government resources available for medical research are insufficient
to provide the level of medical research necessary to ensure continued
advancement in the quality of medical care furnished veterans by the
Department of Veterans Affairs.
(7) Joint medical research ventures involving the sharing of costs by
a department or agency of the Federal Government and any of the States
increase the resources available for financing critical medical research.
(8) The excellent working relationship between the Medical University
of South Carolina and the Department of Veterans Affairs medical center
in Charleston, South Carolina exemplifies the potential for conducting
harmonious and beneficial joint ventures involving medical resources of
the Federal Government and a State.
(b) It is the sense of Congress that--
(1) a joint medical research venture involving the sharing of costs by the
Federal Government and any of the States is a viable, worthy, and fiscally
prudent means for increasing critical medical research; and
(2) the Secretary of Veterans Affairs should consider providing for a
joint venture in which the Department of Veterans Affairs and the State
of South Carolina share equally the costs of construction, ownership,
and operation of a Department of Veterans Affairs and Medical University
of South Carolina medical research center.
