 85 STAt. ] CONCURRENT RESOLUTIONS-DEC. 9, 1971 chant seamen, coastguardsmen, and military personnel and their families, and preventive medical care for urban and rural areas with inadequate medical facilities; and Whereas the Public Health Service facilities provide medical services to more than one-half million people annually who could not obtain these services in the overcrowded private hopitals or on a first priority basis in the Veterans' Administration hospitals; and Whereas the fiscal 1972 health budget proposes a reduction in funds and personnel for Public Health Service hospitals and clinics; and Whereas the Emergency Health Personnel Act of 1970 provides an opportunity for expanded use of Public Health Service facilities to offer health care services to medically underserved areas; and Whereas all resources of the Federal Government should be brought to bear on drug addiction and drug abuse; and Whereas the Public Health Service hospitals, outpatient clinics, and the clinical research center are valuable resources for treatment of drug addicts and drug abusers: Now, therefore, be it Resolved by the Senate {the House of Representatives concurring) ^ That it is the sense of Congress that the Public Health Service hospitals and outpatient clinics, and the clinical research center located at Lexington, Kentucky, should remain open and remain within the Public Health Service at this time. The importance of health care delivery in Urban and rural areas is so great that the Administration should fund and staff these facilities at a sufficient level to allow them to perforip their multiple responsibilities during the entire fiscal year 1972. During this period, the Secretary and the Congress should explore the resources and capabilities of these facilities in their communities, to determine which facilities should continue to be operated by the Public Health Service, which facilities should be converted to community operation, and which facilities, if any, should be closed. SEC. 2. It is the further sense of Congress that the hospitals, outpatient clinics, and the clinical research center of the Public Health Service should be considered an integral part of the national health care delivery system. Agreed to December 9, 1971.
