Mr. Chairman. I rise in support of H.R. 1281. the supplemental appropriations bill. This legislation includes a number of critical items of which I am very supportive. However. at this point I want to commend the committee for including strong report language against diverting funds away from community and migrant health centers. It is a travesty that the United States ranks behind 21 other industrialized nations in the rate of infant mortality. Here we have programs that provide health care services to one out of every ten lowincome pregnant women In this country. These centers are already havIng to turn away people in critical need of care. and they are now confronted with a proposal for multimillion dollar cuts..
