Mr. Chairman. I rise in support of H.R. 5602. the Health Professions and Services Amendments of 1984. This legislation amends titles VII and VIII of the Public Health Service Act to extend the programs of assistance for the training of health professions personnel. to revise and extend the National Health Service Corps Program under the act. and to revise and extend the programs of assistance for health maintenance organizations and migrant and community health centers. Legislation providing for Federal support of health professions education was first enacted by the Congress in 1963. Over the following 20 years. Congress expanded the Federal commitment for essentially two purposes: First. to increase enrollments at the various health professions schools. and second. to assure the financial viability of the schools.
