The subcommittee Included language which directs the Health Resources and Services Administration to give priority consideration to community health center funding initiatives from southwestern border communities. The bill also addresses border health education centers by funding schools of medicine and osteopathy in border areas. I also applaud the subcommittees initiative in supporting increased funding over the Presidents budget request for the Head Start Program. The bill contains important funding requests for programs involving chapter 1 compensatory education programs. bilingual education programs. and immigrant education initiatives. All these educational initiatives are aimed at integrating students of all backgrounds and income levels into our public school system. This also recognizes the cultural diversity present in our society. especially in urban centers like El Paso.
