The balance. a form of bonus capitation. available when a school could assure the Secretary that itbased upon the Senatepassed substitute provisionwould have a 25percent minimum student commitment for service. upon completion of education and training. in medically underserved areas. An additional form of bonus capitation support would be provided to each schoolon a pro rata basisfor increased percentages of enrolled students who agree to such service. I would recommend we consider adoption of the provisions of the Senatepassed bill which seeks to limit effectively the number of foreign medical graduates through Immigration and Naturalization Act restrictions. and that the waiver provisions in that restrictive authority approach be reconsidered. I believe it would be appropriate to adopt the House provision with respect to specialty training limitations. but it is essential that the authority be vested in the Secretary. rather than the private sector as the House bill provides. However. it would be up to that same private sector. acting in cooperation and coordination wi~h the Secretary. to develop the necessary accreditation expertise and requirements regarding specialty training.
