It was the intention of the committee that dialysis activities be emphasized in connection with this increase. but it is leaving it to the Public Health Service to determine the precise activities to be carried ouit with these funds which will do the most in meeting the very serious problems of kidney diseases. The $8 million reduction recommended below the budget for communicable disease activities represents funds requested for an expanded vaccination program which has not yet been authorized. Likewise. the reduction of $3 million in the budget for community health practice and research is for the program of grants for migrant worker health activities for which the legislation has not been extended past 1965. The bill includes $259.089.000 for hospital construction activities. which is a reduction of $44.215.000 from the request. This reduction is brought about primarily as a result of the committees disallowance of legislative language which would permit the allocation of a much larger amount for modernization than is permitted under the existing law.
