At the end of subtitle C of title VII, add the following:

SEC. 724. SENSE OF SENATE ON TRUE NORTH PROGRAM OF THE AIR
FORCE.

It is the sense of the Senate that--
(1) the True North program of the Department of the Air
Force provides important mental health care benefits to
members of the Air Force;

[[Page S5403]]

(2) making such program available to some members of the
Air Force at particular installations without making it
available to others may create a perception of disparity; and
(3) in order to avoid the perception of disparity, the True
North program should operate on an installation-wide basis,
rather than on a unit-by-unit basis within that installation.
