RADIATION EXPOSURE COMPENSATION ACT.

It is the sense of Congress that the United States should
compensate and recognize all of the workers, downwinders, and
others suffering from the effects of exposure to atmospheric
nuclear testing carried out during the Cold War. To that end,
it is also the sense of Congress that section 4(b)(1)(C) of
the Radiation Exposure Compensation Act (42 U.S.C. 2210 note;
Public Law 101-426) should be amended by inserting ``all
acreage in any county all or part of which is located in''
before ``that part''.
