and his amendment calls for an increase of funding for the community health centers from $400 million at the current year to $437 million in fiscal year 1987. and $472 million in fiscal year 1988. I believe that for that program we should keep the current $400 million level. For the migrant health centers. Mr. WAXMAN proposes that we go from the current $45 million level to $56 million for 1987 and $61 million for fiscal year I believe that it would be more appropriate for us to stick with the current level of funding for each of the subsequent years and retain funding at $45.4 million each year for the next 3 years. So. consequently. in short what I am doing is freezing the authorization at the current appropriated levels. and freezing that authorization for fiscal years 1987 and 1988. This amendment does have the support of the migrant and community health centers community across the Nation. and I believe it has the reluctant backing of the chairman of the subcommittee. the gentleman from California . who recognizes that this kind of a compromise is necessary if we are to move this program through the process. So I urge the support of the Members for this amendment to the Waxman amendment.
