Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,

That the Congress

Dr. Dean H. Gosselin.

hereby finds that Doctor Dean H. Gosselin, a commissioned officer in the United States Public Health Service, was separated from active duty on July 6, 1964, that within three months of such date he was found to have a brain tumor which has totally disabled him, that the condition which has resulted in this disability was initially incurred while he was on active duty, and that the Public Health Service is now precluded by law from considering him for disability retirement.
