Let me highlight a few of these. The subcommittee acted to restore some funds for 21 of the programs proposed for elimination in the Presidents budget. programs that benefit millions of Americans. Among those. the bill restores $118 million for trade adjustment assistance and benefits. $212 million for most of the health professions programs. $69 million for nurse training programs. $6.8 million for organ transplants. $4 million for the vaccine stockpile. $10 million for mental health clinical training. $10.3 million for mental health protection and advocacy. $200 million for the work incentives or WIN Program that provides job opportunities to welfare recipients. $130 million for impact aid "B" payments. $30 million for emergency immigrant education. $31.6 million for consumer and homemaker education. $60 million in new loan commitments for college housing loans. and others. The bill includes restorations in seven programs proposed for major reduction: $664.5 million for summer youth employment. $662.7 million for the Job Corps (together with a prohibition on center closings until July 1. 1988). $290 million for HEAL loans. $1.1 billion for Medicare contractors. $1.3 billion for education of the handicapped. $906 million for vocational education. and the NIH level that I already discussed. I am also delighted to report that the bill continues funding for two programs within the Department of Labor Womens Bureau: the Displaced Homemakers Network and the Corporate Linkage Program under the Bureaus Demonstration Grant Program.
