Speaker. as a member of the House Subcommittee on Public Health and Environment. I am today introducing the Health Programs Extension Act of 1973. The purpose of this legislation is to extend for 1 year the following authorities due to expire on June 30. 1973: Health services research and development. health statistics. public health training. migrant health. comprehensive health planning. HillBurton programs. allied health training. regional medical programs. population research and family planning. developmental disabilities. medical libraries. and community mental health centers. My introduction of this legislation should not be construed as a personal endorsement of all these programs. but rather a necessary mechanism to permit the Congress. which established this authority in the first place. the necessary time to make a responsible evaluation and decisions.
