We expect a careful review to be made of this problem and for steps to be taken to streamline program administration. Our committee specifically directed the Secretary of Health. Education. and Welfare to examine the following areas of activity within the Department to determine whether there may be excessive overlapping or duplication: First. mental retardation. second. assistance to migrant farmworkers. third. family planning. fourth. nutrition. fifth. health services for the poor. and sixth. health manpower training programs. We especially directed the Director of the National Institutes of Health to take charge of the review of health manpower training programs and requested a comprehensive and carefully documented report. with recommendations. that would cover the current status and future development of all Federal programs involved in any way with health manpower. The members of our committee also shared a criticism of delegated programs with funds flowing through and among several different agencies.
