I urge my colleagues to join with me in approving S. 1282. the Primary Care Amendments of 1985. A complete legislative history. analysis of the bill. and committee views is available in Senate Report 99104. This bill was unanimously approved by the Labor and Human Resources Committee on June 27. and is identical to legislation passed in the 98th Congress. which reauthorized Federal support for community health centers and migrant health centers and provided State grants for primary care research and demonstration projects. enabling States to become more capable of managing these important health services research programs. The community health centers and migrant health clinics authorized by this legislation represents a significant component of the "safety net." that is the Federal programs necessary to care for those of our citizens least able to care for themselves. Although recent Federal efforts have been successful in restraining the increase in health care costs. traditional medical care is still beyond the reach of some of our citizens. These community based clinics help economically disadvantaged people throughout the land.
