Mr. President. I am joining in the introduction with Senator SCHWEIKER. on the request of the administration. a bill to consolidate various separate project grant authorities: Alcoholism. drug abuse. health services for domestic agricultural migrants. family planning services. information and research. and support for other selected health services programs. The bill also would extend the formula grant programs under the Comprehensive Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism Prevention. Treatment. and Rehabilitation Act of 1970. and the Drug Abuse Office and Treatment Act of 1972. I am pleased that the administration has chosen to recognize the importance of continuing these programs. However. I cannot support the reduction In the formula grant authorization levels. nor the shifting of funding support through consolidation under section 314(e) of the Public Health Service Act for alcoholism and drug abuseas contrasted to the congressional mandate for the continuation of carefully articulated and necessarily separate categorical programs.
